DIY CLAY TAGS

⎨DIY clay tags⎬

This post is part of a series of posts that accompanies my journaling & inspirational workshop, "Quiet Christmas: A Self-Love Journey for the Month of December". If you're looking for a way to slow down at Christmastime, find peace, and savor this time of the year like never before, then this workshop is for you! :) The course doesn't take into consideration the religious aspect of Christmas, it's a Personal Growth, Bliss & Healing workshop.

What if the cure for Holiday stress was more self-love and honoring our needs and desires? Quiet Christmas is an inspiring and powerful workshop in e-book format with daily journaling prompts (can be done even without journaling, if you prefer), to guide you on a journey of self-love and radical self care during the month of December.

What if we put ourselves and our deep needs and desires first?
Hi everyone, here's a tutorial for you on how to make air dry clay tags, that can be used for gift wrapping and other creative projects.

You can make stars or other Holiday themed tags and incorporate them in your Christmas gift wrapping for example, or make some for other occasions. 

In this post I'm sharing a batch of clay Christmas gift tags that I've made, but you can put your own twist on them and end up with a vast array of different looks with this simple craft tutorial!



For my air dry clay tags I use white DAS...


Take it out of its bag and make a ball.


Soften it in your hands...


... and with a rolling pin, press it until you have a smooth surface.

I use to do this on a textured cutting board (that I have found at the famous Swedish store, in the kitchen section), that I have designated for crafting projects. The texture of the plastic is transferred to the clay tags, with such a nice effect!


Then grab your cookie cutters and cut your tags!




Now with the bottom of a BBQ skewer, make some holes.

At this point, you can handstamp them if you wish, or leave them plain and simple. Do not sprinkle with glitter as of yet.

Let air dry, turning upside down every now and then. 

Do not place on a radiator, as they might crack!



When yout tags are completely dry (generally after one week or so, it depends on the weather) you can spray glue them and glitter them.


This is such a simple crafting project perfect for all ages!

Happy crafting!!
