Materials

Instructions

  • Make hooks by cutting and bending wire hangers with pliers.
  • Take one or two layers of the Sculpey and knead them with your hands until soft.
  • Roll out your clay and use anything you have on hand on waxed or parchment paper.
  • Cut out circles with a cookie cutter or a cap from something you have in the house.
  • Use letter stamps or rubber stamps to create your garden charm message or decoration.
  • You can also use the blunt end of a needle to etch in your own words.
  • Next, use the end of a paintbrush to make a hole at the top.
  • Bake the charms in a 275-degree oven for 15 minutes.
  • Once cooled, paint them by using a sponge brush to really get the paint into the crevices, and then gently wipe away any excess with a paper towel.

Notes

Rubber floral stamps worked well for this project, but foam stamps did not.
