The ornament

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way… you can probably guess what’s coming next.

Will you be making some pretty ceramic decorations for your tree this year? You can let your creativity run wild….

Start with a slab of clay and cut out shapes. You can sculpt all kinds of miniature figures. You can start building bells, tubes, houses… the possibilities are endless. It’s a great weekend project, and it brings the Christmas spirit right into your home.

And how beautiful to have a Christmas tree with handmade ornaments!
