Those are lovely. I have just had a go at something similar ,would appreciate tips on how to paint them with white acrylic paint , especially over the words and how to seal them thank you. Keep up the videos you make it look easy.
Hi Isobel, take a look at the blog post, it's got a lot more information than the video. Here's the link: chalkingupsuccess.com/air-dry-clay-ornaments/
Gostei muito!! ❤️
Thank you so much!
Wonderful✨😍
Thank you so much, Alvina and thanks too for taking the time to leave a comment! 🙂
These are so beautiful. Me and my kids love creating things with Air Drying Clay and I thought for this year we will make our own Christmas tree ornaments, and I must say after searching on how others do it out there, yours are definitely my favorite. I will definitely be trying them out. I hope they will look as good as yours or at least close 😃🌸😍
Thank you so much! You can't go wrong with these air dry clay ornaments, the kids will love making them! Happy crafting! 🎄
@@ChalkingUpSuccess Thank you 😊
Nice sharing 😊... New Subscriber
Thanks so much!
Plz support me
You can use the embossed rolling pins for baking after clay ornaments. You soak them in water and dawn and clean with a toothbrush, rinse and wash. it's only clay.
Hi Audrey, thanks for your comment. You should never immerse a patterned rolling pin in water completely nor should you put it in the dishwasher. Please see my blog post on using embossed rolling pins for more info on the best way to clean them. chalkingupsuccess.com/cookies-embossed-rolling-pin/

They look so beautiful. The link to the alphabet stamp takes me to a different stamp set. Do you have the brand name or a link for UK viewers please? Many thanks and Merry Christmas 🎄 x

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! 👋
These are so lovely! How long do you need to leave them to dry? Xx

In the blog post, I give lots more details about working with air dry clay. 🙂
I love these! Can you paint them? Thank you.
Yes, you can paint them. I would add a coat of clear varnish afterwards to seal them.
Love these! May I ask where I can buy the cookie alphabet stamp? Also---how long does it take for the ornaments to dry?
You can find all the details for this craft on my blog here:

Happy crafting!
hi very nice ornaments ! Q: even if we wash thoroughly our cutters or pin is it not safe to use in baking ? thank you
Hi Ellie, thanks for your comment. Metal cutters should be OK to use in baking if they are thoroughly washed afterwards. I would not use wooden rolling pins for baking if you have used them for making air dry clay ornaments. 🎄
The ornaments are beautiful.. curious do you have to do anything to let them dry?
All the details are on my blog here:
chalkingupsuccess.com/air-dry-clay-ornaments/
Happy crafting! 👋
I've read your blog post but don't see an answer to my question- apologies if I missed it. Can you use the leftover clay after each cutting round to knead together and roll out again or will that piece have weaknesses which will break more easily?
Hi, Lynn. Thanks for your question. You can definitely use the clay leftover clay again. I've never had a problem with my clay breaking. 🙂
Hi … I just wanted to know … about using a sealant on the ornament. I got a varnish sealant but noticed that it reacts with the sharpie markers on the clay ornaments. The varnish on the acrylic paint looks fine. Wud u recommend any other sealant ? So it doesn’t make the sharpie Color bleed
If I use sealer, it's usually acrylic sealer or Mod Podge. If I'm just using stamps on these ornaments, I usually don't add sealer at all. I've never tried to add sealer over sharpie pens so can be of no help there I'm afraid. I would test out each sealer on a scrap piece of clay before using it on your ornaments. I'd love it if you could let me know how you get on! Good luck with your project! 🙋♀️
would like to get that embossed roller pins I would like to teach some homeless kids these crafts
That sounds like a brilliant idea, Debbie!
Could I use underglaze transfers on this? Thrn seal with a spray or? I don't want to use my usual porcelain clay and fire them this year....
Sorry, I can't help you there. I have no experience with underglaze transfers.
Thank you, I love the letters however what is the full name of them - I live in the UK
I'm so glad you like them. Here's where you can get the letters if you are in the UK (Affiliate) : tidd.ly/3l1JBvm
so pretty! what kind of clay do you use? i have tried air dry clay and within a yr they all crumbled to dust. do you use a sealer? some say a better clay should be used, but can smell strong even after dried...do you find it has a strong odor?
Hi there. I've used various types of air dry clay to make these Christmas ornaments and always get the same results. So far, none of mine have crumbled so I don't feel the need to use a sealer although you could try that. I've also never noticed a strong smell on the clay but if there was, it would disappear after drying anyway. Hope that helps you, thanks for watching and for commenting! 👋
@@ChalkingUpSuccess thanks- i bought some DAS to try w/ my grandkids this month ...Merry Christmas etc :)
Hi I was wondering how long does it take for air dry clay to dry because I wanted to start trying this for the first time
It depends on a few things. It's best if you read the blog post, all the information you need is there. Here's the link again:
chalkingupsuccess.com/air-dry-clay-ornaments/
Have fun making your Christmas ornaments!
Hi, do you treat the clay with anything to prevent breakage?
Hi, Jessica. It's best if you read my blog post, it has so much more information and tips on using air dry clay that I couldn't fit into the video. chalkingupsuccess.com/air-dry-clay-ornaments/
hello from South Africa please where could I buy the cookie stamper and thanks for sharing
Hi Debbie, I got my cookie stamper online. I just googled 'alphabet cookie stamper in South Africa' and came up with this: lamay.co.za/collections/cake-stamps the stamps looked similar to the one I use. There were other results too so maybe you will find a store near to you. Good luck, I hope you manage to find some. 🙂
Do I here a little Welsh in your accent?
Haha, busted! 👏 Yes Emma, I'm originally from Wales! 🏴
Hear*
Hola, podrias decir que tipo de material es? What kind of material it is? Plsss gracias!!!! Tod muy bonito 😘
It's air dry clay. 🙂
@@ChalkingUpSuccess Muchas gracias, lo voy a buscar en México, saludos 🤗
This is a great tutorial. Can I ask how thick you roll theses ornaments out please.
Thank you
Hi, Wendy! The guides I made are around 8mm = 5/16 inch thick - hope that helps. 🙂
@@ChalkingUpSuccess yes very helpful. Thank you. Going to have a practice this afternoon 🙂
You're welcome! I'm sure yours will turn out beautifully! 🙂
Cover the clay with a piece of plastic wrap before cutting out ornament, it will smooth the sides for you.
I'm not a fan of using plastic wrap as it just gets thrown away afterwards. Smoothing the sides doesn't take much time at all and creates no waste. 🙂
Approximately how many of this ornaments will the 2 lbs of air dry clay make if rolled out 8mm? 100? 500? Just ball park
Hi Jessica, thanks for watching! It really depends on the size of cutter you use as to how many clay ornaments you can make. At the end of this video, you can see how much clay I used. That small piece made about 10 large ornaments and a few smaller star shaped ornaments. I hope that helps. 👋
Brand new here. How do I and how long do I dry them?
You will know when they are dry because they will change color from a light beige to white. Before you make these, take a look at the corresponding blog post. It's chock full tips for making them.

how thick should the clay be
Hi Sheila. All the info is in the blog post here:
chalkingupsuccess.com/air-dry-clay-ornaments/
Where did you get the letter maker?
Hi Jan, if you are in the USA you can find them through my affiliate link here: rstyle.me/+zL3_SdSq1fwlsRvbm0A6aQ
If you are in the UK you can find them here (affiliate): rstyle.me/+6fQPXBnphtcWZ1gVJp5BOg. If these don't work for you, let me know which country you are in and I'll try to find them for you. 🙂
How do you keep the clay from sticking inside the cutter? When I pull my cutter up, the clay comes with it.
There are a few methods to try to stop the clay from sticking to your cutter. Use a spray bottle to mist your cutter with water before cutting or dip the cutter in some cornstarch or flour. Another method would be to cover the clay with cling film once you've rolled it out then use the cutter on top of that. Let me know how you get on. 🙂
@@ChalkingUpSuccess Thank you! I'm making a few more this week, so I'll try the cling wrap trick. Also like your trick for keeping them the same thickness with the two boards on each side. I'm very new at this and looking forward to making some beautiful things!
@@stephaniedemonia7093 good luck! 🙂
would you store the left over clay in the fridge
Hi Debbie, thanks for your comment. 🙂I don't store air-dry clay in the fridge. Take a look at my blog post, it has much more information than I could fit in this video (including storage info). Here's the link: chalkingupsuccess.com/air-dry-clay-ornaments/
Hi, where did you buy your stamp set.
Hi, Kathleen. Here's where you can get the letters if you are in the UK (Affiliate) : tidd.ly/3l1JBvm or here if you are in the USA rstyle.me/+zL3_SdSq1fwlsRvbm0A6aQ
Hiw do you dry them
👋 All the info is in the blog post here: chalkingupsuccess.com/air-dry-clay-ornaments/ 😊
Can you paint them once they dry out+
Hello Jay, thanks for your comment. Yes, you can paint air dry clay ornaments once they're dry. I would use acrylic paint and make sure to wait at least an hour before each coat. (If you intend to the paint).
@@ChalkingUpSuccess thank you, your ornaments came out beautifully!!
If the clay is non-toxic, can’t you just wash all the rolling pins, utensils, etc…and use with food later on?
Hi Monica, thanks for your comment. I like to keep my crafting utensils separate from my cooking utensils. If you were using an embossed rolling pin, there may be a chance of small amounts of clay remaining in the rolling pin after cleaning. That's why I recommend keeping your crafting utensils separate. If you were using a marble/glass rolling pin and cookie cutters that can be washed at high temperatures, there shouldn't be a problem in using them for both crafting and cooking. If you are thinking of making these clay ornaments, I recommend that you read my blog post first because there is a lot more information there than I could fit in this video. Hope that helps and good luck with your project! 🙂
