Clay Charms for Gift Packages....

Sculpey clay is always fun to play with, and for under $2.50 it is a reasonably priced way to make a few button charms or ornaments!

The clay has to be kneaded and rolled out.  I rolled to about 1/4" thickness and cut out stars, hearts and little trees....

....make sure you don't forget to add holes before baking!

These are going to be button charms for packages:

I baked the clay according to the directions on the package.

One package made this many: 

Once cooled, I gave each a little dusting of glitter spray:

Wrap the ribbon around a package and through the holes.....

...tie a knot....

...and then a bow!

It's as simple as that!

Gold elastic cording works well, too: 

You can also use pie crust cutters to make charms or ornaments:

If you roll and cut a long strip of clay....

...and fold and twist it into a flower, similar to how one would make ribbon roses:

and after baking you can brush a little paint to add some depth and color:

It's a cute way to pretty up a package:

Making these with Polymer Clay is a fun and easy craft for all ages!
