Step by Step

  1. Roll It Out: Roll the clay to about 1/4 inch thick, aiming for an even layer.
  1. Cut Your Shapes: Use a triangle template or ruler to cut out even triangles for your bunting.
  1. Add Letters: Press alphabet cookie cutters or stamps into each triangle to spell out a name or word.
  1. Make Holes: Use a skewer or straw to create two holes at the top of each triangle for hanging.
  1. Let It Dry: Lay the triangles flat and allow them to dry for 24-48 hours.
  2. Paint & Seal (Optional): Paint your triangles and add a clear seal for extra durability.
  1. String Your Bunting: Thread twine or ribbon through the holes and adjust the spacing.

And that’s it! Your custom clay bunting is ready to hang!
