Adorable Ornaments

My daughter and I made these as little Christmas gifts for her friends. They are surprisingly simple to make and are oh so cute. Try making some today!

Sparkling Lollipop Ornaments:
What you need: modeling clay, Mod Podge, coarse glitter, lollipop sticks
Using 2 colors, flatten clay slightly and layer.
Roll up, poke a lollipop stick into the bottom and let dry overnight.
Brush on the Mod Podge to seal any cracks and sprinkle on the glitter. Let dry. (clay will still be slightly malleable)
Hot glue a string onto the back of lollipop and hang. Remember to tell your child that these are not edible. They look good enough to eat!

I really like these ornaments. I want to make them too. They look so pretty. Can't wait to see you! Annie

Those are so pretty! Does the modeling clay eventually harden, or do they stay soft?

Jennifer,

So far, the modeling clay has hardened somewhat but you can still dent it with a fingernail. I've seen the kind that you can bake to harden. That may be better to use for this project, although if it's just an ornament, it shouldn't be handled much anyway. Good luck!
