Winter Time Polymer Clay Garland

I made a polymer clay garland that uses scrapbook embellishments and polymer to make it a super fun winter season decoration.

• white polymer clay
• cookie cutter
• white metallic paint
• scrapbook embellishments
• gold or silver string

Soften some white polymer clay and then roll it out flat to about 1/8th thickness. If you have a pasta or clay machine, of course, you can use that instead.

Use a cookie cutter to make small round discs of the clay. Make enough for however long a garland you want, but keep in mind, you'll be sandwiching these coins so make double the amount you think you'll need for your garland.

Bake the clay as the instructions say. I, myself, turned the oven on to about 225 degrees and stuck them in for 20-30 minutes.

As far as I can tell, you can't burn polymer clay by leaving it in too long.

Paint one side of each clay disc with the white metallic - or pearlescent - paint.

Add one snowflake embellishment in the center of each shiny disc.

Grab two discs. Turn one over and liberally apply some strong glue all over the back of the disc.

Lay the string you're using across the gluey disc.

Add a little more glue to the top of the string on your disc and then stick your second disc on top, sandwiching the string. If you have any quilt clips or even clothespins, you could keep pressure on the two discs to make sure they bond together tightly where the string is.

Hang them up after they've dried!
