Top Tip
Leave the clay to dry for up to 48 hours to ensure it has dried out completely before painting.
How to Make
- Take approximately a third of a pack of air drying clay and use a rolling pin to roll it flat until it is about a centimetre thick.
- Download and print off the heart template provided then cut it out. Lay the heart over the rolled out clay and use a plastic modelling tool to cut around the heart shape.
- Position your hand to where you would like your handprint to go and then press it firmly into the clay to create your handprint.
- Use a skewer to create two holes in the top of the clay heart. Leave up to 48 hours to dry.
- Once the clay has completely dried through, paint around the handprint with red acrylic paint so that just the heart is painted. Leave to dry. Apply a second coat of paint. Leave to dry.
- Stick some foam letters on to personalise your heart then stick some mini around the handprint to decorate.
- Cut a length of blue ribbon, thread through the holes and tie with a large knot on each end to hold securely in place. Create a small bow from some ribbon and stick onto one side to finish.
