We're making little Christmas ornaments with the mini monsters, it's so easy, everyone can join in. With the terracotta clay just the shapes are already very nice and if you also give them some snow here and there they are even more fun.

The pendants come in handy in several ways. You can hang them on a present, as a personal extra gift, but they also look very cute in the Christmas tree. If you scratch on the back for / from with a pricker it is a sweet name card, gift tag they say in America ;)) but do it before the clay dries!

All figures are now cut out.

Poke holes in the figures and write on the back.

Let the clay dry, front and back.

Now you have to be patient! Let the figures dry for a day, then turn them over and let them dry for another day

Paint the figures how you like and guess what? Let the paint dry ;))

Tie a string on the figures and hang them on your presents.

We wish you a wonderful Christmas with lots of presents!
