DIY Floral-Pressed Ornaments

Ingredients

Non toxic air-dry clay (we found ours on Amazon!)
rolling pin (or a can on its side!)
straw
assorted flowers and leaves
bakers twine or string
cookie cutter (or use a jar lid like we did!)
Mod Podge (optional)

Instructions

Roll out a small golf ball sized chunk of clay with a rolling pin to about ¼" thick.
Use cookie cutter or jar lid to cut out a round disk, or design of choice.
Press flowers and leaves into clay in any design.
Use straw to poke a hole out of the top of your disk.
Tie a string inside of the hole so that your ornament can hang.
Let dry for about 24 hours fully.
If you want to give your ornament a glossy finish, you can coat the top of the ornament with Mod Podge to keep the florals long lasting in place and a nice shine!
Hang and enjoy!
