Clay gift tags

Get started with this fun DIY and wrap your presents even more fun! These clay pendants are an original alternative to normal gift tags. Not only fun during the holidays in the sack of St. Nicholas or under the tree, but also a great wrapping tip for birthdays. Read on to find out how to make your own clay gift tags!

Supplies:

one packet of self-curing white clay
baking paper
stamps
knife, round cutout or drinking glass
rolling pin
scissors / skewers
string
optional: hobby paint

STEP 1.

Remove the clay from the package, knead it smoothly and make small balls. Press the balls flat or use the roller, and make a cutout of desired size and shape. Want to do it like on our example? Then make larger balls and cut them out with a round cutout or a drinking glass. Of course, you can also cut out other shapes with a knife, such as stars, hearts or squares. Do you have sturdy cookie cutters at home? You can cut out the most creative shapes with those, too.

STEP 2.

Grab your stamp set and stamp the name or message into the clay. In our example we used letters to depict the holidays, but of course you can also put his or her pet name on it or just a heart. Take scissors or a skewer and poke a hole through the top of your mold, that way you can pull a ribbon or string through it later. The thicker the ribbon or string you want to use, the larger the hole should be. You can also create larger holes with a sturdy straw.

STEP 3.

Now let the clay dry according to the waiting time of the instructions on the packaging of the clay and wait until your gift tags are ready. Have fun giving!
