Create original Christmas magnets by cutting out beautiful shapes from the modelling clay using cookie cutters. After drying, you can decorate the cut-outs with half-beads to your taste.
You need:
- DAS modelling clay
- 4 magnets
- Plastic half-beads
- Kleberfix glue
1) Cut off a piece of the modelling clay with a knife and roll it out to around 5 mm thick.
Tip: Roll the modelling clay out on a cling foil placed on a solid surface so that you can easily remove it afterwards.
2) Just as baking biscuits, cut out stars and Christmas trees or other shapes to your liking using the cookie cutters.
3) When it comes to pendants, you can use a wooden skewer to make a hole at the desired spot in the modelling clay. Set the finished cut-out clay pieces aside to dry. It takes about 2 days for the modelling clay to dry completely.
Tip: At a low drying temperature and with extra ballast to weigh down the cookie cutters slightly, e.g. an empty cardboard box, you will get nice and flat shapes.
4) Once the stars and trees are dry, you can glue on the plastic half-beads. With the Kleberfix glue, it’s super easy! To make the fridge magnets, affix one magnet to the rear side of each cut-out item using the Kleberfix glue.
