Supplies You’ll Need
- Air-dry clay
- Lace (any pattern you like)
- Rolling pin
- Cookie cutters (any shape you want)
- Craft paintbrush (for making hanging holes)
- Optional: Craft paint for decorating
Step-by-Step Tutorial for DIY Lace Christmas Ornaments
- Roll Out the Clay
Start by rolling out your air-dry clay to about 1/4 inch thick. You want it to be thicker because they will break easily if too thin.
- Create the Lace Texture
Lay your lace over the clay and use a rolling pin to gently roll over it. The clay will press into the lace, capturing the intricate pattern. Carefully lift the lace to reveal your textured design.
- Cut Out Ornament Shapes
Use cookie cutters to cut out your ornament shapes.
- Make a Hanging Hole
Use the end of a craft paintbrush to poke a hole near the top of your ornament so you can add a ribbon or string later.
- Let Them Dry
Let them dry overnight.
Optional: Paint Your Ornaments
Once dry, you can leave your ornaments natural or add paint for a personalized touch.
Tips for Perfect DIY Lace Christmas Ornaments
- Use flexible lace to get clean texture impressions.
- Don’t press too hard with the rolling pin, or the clay may tear.
- Experiment with different shapes and sizes to create a varied, eye-catching tree display.
- Air-dry clay works best for beginners because it’s easy to shape and requires no baking.
These ornaments are not only beautiful but also customizable and budget-friendly. They’re perfect for gifting or decorating your own home. The intricate lace pattern makes even simple shapes look sophisticated, giving your Christmas tree a unique, handmade charm.
