If you’re looking for Christmas themed projects, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve gathered some of our cutest festive creations so you can get arty this holiday season. Our whole team banded together to make projects that suit a range of skill levels and experience, so there’s something for everyone. Pick a project and make something with your loved ones in time for Christmas.
Pawprint ornament DIY
Grab a furry friend for this fun project! Create the shape of your choice from air dry clay – we went with a basic circle, but you could make a heart, star, or whatever shape you can fit a pawprint on. Make sure the shape is at least a couple of centimetres thick before you press your beloved pet’s paw into the middle. You can place a layer of clingfilm around their paw if you like or give their foot a rinse with pet-safe soap and water after contact with the clay. Once you’re happy with the imprint, leave the clay to dry for at least 24 hours before painting it a festive colour. Watch the video to see the step-by-step process!
Acrylic pour Christmas balls
Use our SuperCell paints to make super special Christmas baubles! Make a flat bauble shape with air dry clay so the cells don’t have to fight against gravity as they form. Try all sorts of colour combos like the two styles above and below, or use the handpicked shades in our SuperCell Pouring Paint Sets. Have a look at the videos to see how ours came out.
