DIY Gift Tags: Candy Cane Clay Words

Christmas· Clay Crafts· Winter

These fun clay word DIY gift tags are a cute way to dress up your presents for holiday gift giving!  You can make your tag in any color you want to match your wrapping paper, and spell any name or word you want.  Keep reading to learn how easy (and addictive) this simple gift wrap idea is to make.

Clay-DIY-gift-tags-Crafts-UnleashedSupplies needed to make your own clay DIY gift tags:supply-list

  • Sculpey Sampler Pack
  • Clay Tool Set
  • Baker’s Twine

Step one. Cut an equal piece of clay from two different colors.

Clay-DIY-gift-tags-Crafts-Unleashed-4Step two. Roll each piece into a thin strand of clay.  If you are using red and white like I did, be aware that the red will stain your surface and your hands.  It’s best to roll the white clay first, and roll brightly colored clays second, to avoid staining the white clay.

Clay-DIY-gift-tags-Crafts-Unleashed-5Step three. Set each strand side by side, and begin twisting them together slowly.  You can leave them twisted (as I did with “joy”) or gently press the twists together (like I did with “noel”).  Each creates a slightly different look.

Clay-DIY-gift-tags-Crafts-Unleashed-6Step four. Loop the strands to spell the desired word. I just manipulated the clay till I liked the way it looked.  Once I was happy with it, I pressed the “joints” together slightly so the letters would not come apart.

Step five. Bake the clay as instructed on the package.

Clay-DIY-gift-tags-Crafts-Unleashed-2I kept my packaging simple to showcase the clay DIY gift tags.  First I wrapped my gifts in kraft paper.  Then I looped a bit of baker’s twine onto the first and last letters, and tied the twine in the back.

Clay-DIY-gift-tags-Crafts-Unleashed-3 You gift recipient can reuse your DIY gift tags as a ornament!  How fun is that?
