Snowflake Ornament Tutorial-polymer clay

Cut out a 3 inch round circle from light blue clay and
make a star impression in the middle. Do not cut the
star all the way through. Do it lightly.

Add white logs as shown. Indent the logs with the end of a small paintbrush or tool of
your choice. The logs should now look like small hot dog buns. Roll small candy canes
and put them in the "hot dog buns". Twist small white ropes and attach as shown. Roll
blue and white candy canes and attach at the top for the snowmen's scarves.

Add the heads. Press a ball of white clay into the middle of the ornaments. Cut out a
white star with the cookie cutter you used to impress the star in step 2 and put it in the
middles as shown. Add hats to the snowmen and holly leaves and berries.

Snowflake Ornament Tutorial

Some Variations

This ornament was born during a
downtime at a craft show. I always
bring some clay to play with and
here is my first attempt at the
snowflake:

Here is the second attempt:

When creating
new ornaments I
always work with
Super Sculpey. I
don't move on to
color until I am
sure I like the
design.
Sometimes it
looks better in
the Super
Sculpey than in
colors, but that
just means I
made poor color
choices.
