Mitten Decoration - Mittens:
Using a straw, pierce a hole through the clay to thread your ribbon through.
Leave to dry for 24 hours.
Using your knife, draw a mitten shape into the clay, you can also use the provided templates if you aren’t comfortable working freehand.
Cut the mitten shape out and repeat.
Smooth the edges of the mitten using your fingers, and then add a hole at the top by piercing your straw through.
Leave to dry for 24 hours.
Using the letter stamps, add your personalised names to the clay pushing down to imprint the letters. Using a straw, add holes at the top of the bauble.
Leave to dry for 24 hours.
Now, using some of the sage green, add three small berry shapes at the end of each of the foliage motifs by painting a circle and leaving a small circle unpainted inside.
Leave to dry before stringing ribbon through to hang the decoration.
Once dry, you can decorate your decorations or simply leave them white for a more minimal look.
String twine through your stars before hanging them around your tree or up on the mantle piece!
