Clay Charm

How we did it:
Materials List
- air dry clay
- paint
- buttons
- pipe cleaners
- rolling pin (or cup or can)
- plastic knife (or butter knife)
-
Gather your materials and protect your workspace. The hardest part is deciding what to make!
-
For a custom name tag that you can hang on a backpack, tote bag, or even a gift, start by rolling out the clay so that it is 1/8� thin. You can use a rolling pin, can or even a cup.
-
Using a plastic knife (you may need grownup help), cut a shape out of the clay. Once your design is final, use a pipe cleaner to gently poke a hole in the clay so you can hang it. Let it dry overnight.
-
Once your charm is dry, paint your name or design on it. You can also paint some of the buttons.
-
Finally, string some buttons on a pipe cleaner. Loop it through your charm. Next time, make a charm you can hang from a pipe cleaner necklace, or a tag you can tie to a birthday gift.
