My daughters and I decided we would attempt to make our own white clay ornaments this year. It was such an easy and enjoyable task!
We have used the ornaments to decorate our presents, wine glasses and even our Christmas Wreath!
How to make White Clay
Making these decorations only requires 3 ingredients
2 Cups Bi - Carb Soda ( Baking Powder)
1 Cup Conflour ( Cornstarch)
1 1/4 Cups water
Mix ingredients in a heavy pan and place on stove stirring until
it reaches boiling point. Remove from heat and place a damp
cloth over bowl until cool. Place into small balls and roll between
two sheets of baking paper. Cut out shape with cookie cutter and
stamp with a suitable Christmas stamp - our say's "no peeping"!
We tried two seperate methods for drying, placing in an oven for 10
minutes and just air drying them for two days. The air dried ornaments
were definitely better as they did not distort and were far whiter than
those dried in the oven
