Makin’s Clay® Wine Glass Charms

Hosting a party for the holidays?  Then, why not make your own wine glass charms?  These were quick and easy to make. 

 

These charms were made from Green Makin’s Clay® and Makin’s Clay® cutters then decorated with glitter.  Once the glitter was dried, I drilled a hole at the top of each tree with a pin vise, added a jump ring, and then put them on earring hoops with beads to complete the wine glass charm.

Makin’s Clay® offers many different styles and sizes of cutters.  Doves, Santas, and bells are justa few for the holiday season.  They also have cutters that come in larger sets with lots of choices for lots of occasions.  Check them out here:

Quick and Easy Gift Tags

Recently, I wrote a tutorial, Snowflake Ornament, where I covered a plastic ornament with a sheet of Makin’s Clay® and snowflakes punched out of the same clay.  Once I was finished with the project, I had several left over snowflakes and clay so I made these cute gift tags. 

 

I cut the tags out of the clay with a Sizzix® and the Sizzix® Tag Set die.  The snowflakes were cut out using EK Success® paper punches.  I glued the punches down to the tags with Beacon® Tacky Glue.

Big-Eyed Cat

With Halloween coming soon, I think my Big-Eyed Cat may have seen a ghost or two!

He is made from white Makin’s® Clay and painted with Reeves® Oil Paint.  I was going to make him a black cat but since I have two orange cats I made him orange.

 

Halloween Pendants

Halloween is coming up soon so I made these cute little glow-in-the-dark pendants to get into the spirit.

 

I used glow-in-the-dark and black Makin's Clay® and the Crinkle and Halloween A Makin’s® Cutters.     
     
  
        
      

My Little Fishy

I recently took a trip to the beach.  When I go to the beach I like to take clay for the times I am sitting under the umbrella avoiding the sun.  This year I took some plastic eyes, a few tools, and a box of white Makin's Clay® with me.  Makin's Clay® is great because it is an air dry clay.  I was able to make my little fishy with the plastic eyes without having to bake him.  I did, however, have to wait until I got home to paint him. 

Harold, the Refrigerator Magnet

This is Harold, my refrigerator magnet guy.  He is made from white Makin’s Clay®.  I sculpted him, shoved a bunch of feathers in the top of his head, and let the clay dry.  Then, I antiqued him with burnt umber oil paint, painting the paint on and then rubbing it off leaving it in the cracks so he would have more detail.  I’m not normally a sculptor but I had seen a similar guy made with ceramic clay and wanted one for my fridge so I made Harold.  He makes me smile when I look at him.    

Game Pieces

Recently, we were at a beach house on vacation.  Unfortunately, it was a rainy day so we were stuck inside.  There were plenty of games at the beach house but the Backgammon game we wanted to play had no pieces.  Where they went we had no clue but in order to play we needed the games pieces and a set of dice.  What do you do when you are a crafty mom and you don’t have what you need?  Well, you make it.  I just happened to have some Makin's Clay® and tools with me so I could work on some projects.  I rolled out the clay, cut out the pieces, made a pair of dice and we were ready to play!
