We had three birthday parties this weekend which means I had ornaments to make. When my daughter started going to birthday parties I started making all of her friend’s gift tag ornaments. I have been told by parents they love it and want me to keep doing it. Booga had a birthday party this weekend for one of his little buddies (two peas in a pod for sure), I decided to keep the tradition going with Booga’s friends as well. I remembered to photograph two of the three ornaments and considering I only missed one I thought that was not bad at all.
Dinosaur inspired by a little boy who loves dinosaurs. The dark green spot is where the name was I blocked out the name in Photoshop.
Inspired by Build-a-Bear, Money and the entire Justice Clothing Collection – they did have names but I blocked them out in Photoshop
The ornaments were created with Super Sculptey (an oven baked polymer clay) and painted with acrylic craft paint. My kids wrote To: and From: on the back with a Silver Sharpie Marker – I wrote the date. I sealed each with an acrylic sealant, so the paint wouldn’t chip and the To and From would be protected as well.
Usually my kids help with these but I realized the day of that I forgot so I did them with the polymer clay and made them.
