It’s time for the Creative Crafts Christmas Edition and together with Sculpey, we are creating for the holidays! Sculpey is the perfect medium to make Christmas ornaments with. Here in the south, monograms are all the rage and everyone loves a monogram. Sculpey® provided me with with Sculpey III and Sculpey Bake Shop clay and a modeling tool kit to create this adorable monogram ornament. This ornament could be attached to a gift and then placed on the tree afterwards!

Materials:

Sculpey® Clays: Sculpey III in Granny Smith, Sculpey Bake Shop® in White and Red
Sculpey Bake Shop® Modeling Tools
Round Cookie Cutter
Parchment Paper
String or Ribbon
Oven or Toaster Oven

How I made it:

I started by cutting the amount of clay that I thought I would need from each block and kneading it to soften it.

Once the clay was soft and easy to work with, I rolled out the white clay until it was about 1/4″ thick using the roller that came in the modeling tools pack. I also cut a small square piece to create the top of the ornament.

Using the pointed tool stick, I created a hole in the top part and then I scored the ornament to give it a shiplap look.

I then rolled out the green clay to create the border and then the red clay to create the monogram. I then added them to the white clay and pressed them down gently so that they stuck.

I preheated my toaster oven to 275 degrees and baked my clay for about 15 minutes per the instructions. Then I let it cool and added the ribbon.

Everyone loves a good magnet, especially to hang up the kid’s art work! I created these awesome Sculpey Alien Magnets inspired by Laura Kelly’s Alien and Cosmic Cafe Printables.

Materials needed:
Sculpey (I prefer Bake Shop)
Clay tools
Laura Kelly’s Alien and Cosmic Cafe Printables
Magnets
Glue

My friend Laura is an incredible artist. She designed these Alien and Cosmic Cafe Printables. You can get your own at www.shoplaurakelly.com. I think they are absolutely adorable!

Sculpey’s Bake Shop Oven-Bake Clay is super fun and easy to work with! And it doesn’t take long to bake and harden! Using clay tools, I rolled out my clay and cut shapes that resembled a few of the aliens that I created with the printable. I rolled out my dots and then put everything together! I didn’t want two aliens that were the same color, so I added some white clay to my green to lighten it up.

Once my aliens were baked, hardened and cooled, I added magnets to the backs using Aleene’s Max Tacky Adhesive. I let the glue dry and then hung my awesome Alien Magnets on the refrigerator!

Hope you like my awesome Alien Magnets inspired by Laura Kelly’s Aliens!
