Everywhere you go!

I just love this time of year.

I got in the mood last night by making a dozen of these Christmas ornaments from polymer clay to give to co-workers with their altered journals. I think I’m going to make more of these next week with my niece & nephew since they are simple enough for kids.

Quick Instructions: Condition a package of caramel-colored clay. Roll out on the largest setting on your pasta machine & cut the gingerbread man shape out with a Wilton cookie cutter (available at JoAnns for $1). Take a scrap of white polymer clay & roll out into a skinny snake. Twist two pieces together to create the rope for the hands & feet. Roll two small balls for the eyes & a small curl for the mouth. Make two small coils from red glitter clay for the buttons, poke a hole in the top of the head (I used the end of a ball point pen without the ink cartridge) & bake for 20 minutes. Add some ribbon & you are done!
