Elegant Christmas Ornament

Easy to Make Elegant Lace and Pearl Christmas Ornaments

Some combinations never go out of style, offering a classic look. For example, these lace and pearl Christmas ornaments combine delicate patterns and lustrous faux gems. And you can make these elegant beauties for less than $5. 


You will need:

• 2 oz. Sculpey Clay in pearl
• Piece of white lace
• Swarovski flat back white pearls 16ss
• tweezer or wax tipped tool
• poker tool or sharpened pencil
• Sobo glue
• Jute twine

​Begin by rolling out the Sculpey Clay to ¼ of an inch thickness(a soup can works well). When the clay is the correct thickness, cut out your shape using a cookie cutter or template. If using cookie cutters, save for use with clay only. With either a poker tool or sharpened pencil, make a hole near the top of your ornament large enough to be able to thread the jute twine through. Line a cookie sheet with plain white paper. Place your ornament on the white paper and bake in a preheated 275 degree oven for 15 minutes.
​

When done baking, remove from the oven and allow to cool. Once your ornament is cool, you can glue a piece of lace across the front using Sobo brand glue.

Once the glue is dry on your lace, place a drop of glue large enough so that the glue will cover the edges of the pearl. Using a tweezer or wax tipped tool, place a pearl on the drop of glue and gently press down. Allow to dry.

Finally, thread a piece of jute twine through your hole, and your ornament is finished. Great for gift giving, or for decorating your own tree.
