MAGNET ORNAMENTS WITH MAKIN’S CLAY
MAGNET ORNAMENTS
by Martha Lucia Gomez
Hello dear friends, Martha Lucia here with you. Today I want to share a set of Magnet Ornaments that I made using two of my favorites pushing molds of Makin’s Clay® with traditional colors for Christmas: red and green with a few touches of yellow. For this project I only used the pushed molds: Christmas Decor and Christmas Nature, which are both perfect for this season. Let me share with you how to make these.
Product list:
- Red, Green and Yellow Clay
- Christmas Decor Push Mold
- Christmas Nature Push Mold
Instructions:
Take a small amount of the color of your choice of clay. I chose red for the poinsettias and cherries, green for the leaves. Smooth it with your hands to create an uniform ball. Press the clay into the mold starting in the center and working toward the edges.
Remove the excess clay that overlaps the edges of the mold. If you want you can cut this with scissors when all the pieces have dried.
Now it’s time to assemble the small pieces to create the wreath and and cherry adorns.
To assemble and paste all the pieces I used Beacon™ 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue, it dry clear and very fast.
If you want to intensify the color of the flowers to have a vintage look, you can ink these using distress ink or any other ink or paint. I used distress ink with different intensity. On the next photo you can notice this. I used Ground Espresso Distress Ink.
Now cut small pieces of magnet sheets and paste these with the same adhesive on the back of the ornaments and let the glue dry.
Your ornaments are ready to use and perfect to fix your memory messages on your fridge or boards!
I hope my project inspires you. Makin’s Clay® has a lot of push molds and clay cutter designs that you can use for the season to create special decorations.
Thank you for stopping by and see you soon!
