Calliope Designs
has now developed a new line of
“claydough ornaments”.
As with the traditional dough
ornaments these are all designed to be
personalized Christmas ornaments and
are created with many of the same
popular characters.
Clay dough is a new material made of a
polymer resin. The ornaments are
formed using the same techniques and
are designed by Dorr Eddy using many
of the same techniques and tools as
the dough ornaments. All of the clay
dough ornaments shown on our website
are clearly marked “clay dough” in
their description, and while they are
not created to replace the dough
ornaments, they are a welcome addition
to the selection.
If you think you'd like to try making some polymer clay ornaments at home with your family you can find this material at art stores and craft shops all over the US. Brand names are FIMO, Cernit, and Sculpy. The clay is sold in small packages of bright colors and there are usually instruction manuals available as well.
There are many polymer clay organizations to be found on the internet. Some give instructions, show videos, and offer lessons and supplies for sale. Just do a search for "polymer Clay" and you'll be surprised how many sites there are!
This is a fun family activity. While we hope you'll want to purchase some of our personalized ornaments, we know if you make them with your children you'll always treasure the results!
