Clay Heart Tags

I had so much fun making these hearts that I got a little carried away....Someone stop me!


I'm joining the 14 days of crafting going on at JoJo & Eloise 
Please drop over and see all of the fabulous Valentine crafts


 To make the hearts I used oven bake Sculpey clay...


 ....Rolled out thin.  For the lace impression I used a rolling pin and rolled over the lace... 


...Then cut out the heart with a cookie cutter


 On some I used cute rose decals....The water slide decal tutorial is HERE.


These are really cute tied to gifts, jars, or candle sticks....Heck, I think these are cute enough to be a gift all by themselves


Yep, I got a little carried away!    


I was having so much fun I didn't realize I'd made so many!  So, if you are not the crafty type, the hearts can be purchased at The Polka Dot Closet


Have fun making these Hearts!

Happy Creating!
Carol

    These are the cat's meow! Oh! Adorably romantic! I've always wanted to try Sculpy. I mean, you can't flub up this project, can you? You convinced me! Precious!

    Thanks for inspiring us, lacy lady!

    I love your hearts, Carol! I can see why you can't stop making them:) Now I want to rush right out and buy some of that clay, and I've been wanting to try waterslides, too. Thanks for the beautiful inspiration!

    Bingo, just the project I need. I have a small package of Sculpey that I wanted to try on a project and this is a great beginner one. Also hear so much about the water slide decals, but no idea how they worked. Double bonus today! Love these and thanks so much for a wonderful blog.

    No, don't stop! They are so pretty! I haven't tried the clay, might give it a try. Thanks for the lace tip, etc.

    P.S. - the wedding date is October 20, so now I don't need to try to do something with a "13"

    The ones with the lace pattern are my favorites! I am seriously cleaning upstairs for my mom's stay next week, so I will not be running to town to buy some of the clay. BUT, it's going on my list of things to do!! Thanks for sharing!♥♫

    I love your hearts! I had previously seen clay hearts and round decorations at gardenmama.typepad.com. She used Sculpey UltraLight, because it is much more pliable than regular Sculpey. She said she likes the porcelain look of the UltraLight, and the fact that she could get that look in a unbreakable form of Sculpy. It seems that I read that UltraLight is indeed ultra light as far as weight goes.

    My question since I have not used either type of Sculpey... Do you have any concerns about regular Sculpey being breakable? Is it fairly light in weight? What kind of "look" does the fired Sculpey have (re UltraLight looks like porcelain?) Certainly, your hearts look lovely from the photos, so I am assuming the texture and look is satisfying. If you have time to reply, I would love it. I can't get UltraLight around here, but Sculpey is easily available. I guess if I really want to know, I can order some Sculpey UltraLight as well as some Sculpey and compare them myself, eh?

    Once again, I love your blog and your style. I am so glad to be following you!

    These are so gorgeous. I love your idea. Is the clay color you used a white or off white? I am going to have to try this. I have not been able to find lace wide enough with a nice design. Did you have to order lace? May I ask where you bought the lace?

    Hi Carol, these hearts are just darling. Love them and the details.
    I can see they can be very addictive to create.

    Thank you for the well wishes. I am a bit better from the flu but have pleurisy now. Just going to take some time to recoup. I am not good at that part though.
    Have a great week.
    Hugs, Celestina Marie
