Directions for Thumbprint Glitter Ornament

Roll out clay to 1/4” thickness and cut out a snowflake.
Gently press your child’s thumb in to the clay to make a heart.
Use a straw to create a hole at the top of the snowflake.
Bake ornament according to the instructions on clay packaging and allow to cool.
Once the ornament has cooled, fill the heart shape with clear glue.
Then sprinkle with glitter and shake off to remove excess.
Tie a ribbon through the hole.

This is such a fun craft the kids can enjoy doing step by step! The moldable clay is similar to play dough once you get it softened a bit, and what kid doesn’t like to cut things out with cookie cutters! 🙂 Let your kids pick out their favorite glitter color for their own personalized ornament. Once the glue has had a chance to dry you can write their name on the ornament or if they are old enough they can write their own name! You can use either a sharpie marker or a pen.
