Valentine ornaments from polymer clay


I found some red polymer clay in my stash and thought I would whip up a quick little valentine craft.


I rolled out the clay and used a cookie cutter to make some hearts.



Then I made some simple loops from wire.


And inserted them into the tops of the hearts.


Next I stamped some "conversation heart" messages with alphabet rubber stamps. Then I baked the clay according to the package directions.


After the clay was cool, I applied some white paint into the letters and wiped it off the rest of the heart. (Quick tip, I found if I wet the letter area a little with some water before putting on the paint, it wiped off much easier.)


Hang on ribbons and done!
