Tips for clay Christmas projects
- Make the hanging hole before baking, or bake a small loop of wire right into the ornament.
- Bake red and white pieces carefully: an oven thermometer and a foil tent stop white clay from turning yellow.
- Add sparkle after baking with mica powder, glitter varnish or a touch of gold paint.
- Start early: handmade gifts take longer than you think, and late November is the perfect time to begin.
