Clay Christmas glove with lace imprint
For a moment, Anna has paused her knitting for a new clay project. "What are you making, Aunt Anna?" the nephew asks as the nieces appear with curious expressions. "Take a look, I am making Christmas gloves to decorate the Christmas tree," Anna answers with a smile. "Would you like to make your own?"
Download, print and cut out the template.
Use the rolling pin to roll out a piece of self-hardening clay until it is approx. 0.5 cm thick and wide enough for the template to fit onto.
Place several pieces of lace ribbon on both sides of the clay and roll the ribbon into the clay carefully, creating lovely imprints from the ribbon. "You can use baking paper on both sides of the clay to stop the clay from sticking to the surface and the rolling pin," Anna suggests with a smile.
Remove the lace ribbon and the baking paper, and move the lace-imprinted clay onto a cutting mat.
Place the template on they clay where the imprint looks the best and use the precision knife to cut out the glove shape from the clay.
When the shape is cut, the edges can be smoothed with a little water on a brush.
Make a hole in the glove with a thick needle where you would normally put in your hand. This way, you can pull a string through the hole later.
Let the glove dry and harden completely.
When the glove is dry, you can use a paintbrush and decoupage glue to add golden foil flakes to where you made the hole in step 7.
Let the glue dry completely and cut a piece of string of approx. 22 cm. Add the string to the glove.
Your clay Christmas glove is now ready to hang on the Christmas tree.
