Create original pieces made of clay, draw vignettes inspired by Christmas stories and fill your tree with reindeer, teddy bears, winter scenes and more Christmas cheer!    

• Roll out the clay to about 2 mm in thickness. Cut circles in the clay using cookie cutters or glasses of different diameters.
  
• Pierce a hole at the top of each circle, and also at the bottom on some of them. Model some small beads: some round, and others in droplet shapes. Pierce them using the toothpick. If needed, smooth all the shapes with your finger and a little water.
  

• Drawing inspiration from the photos, create small vignettes in each circle. I took inspiration from the 'Michka' Christmas story and drew a teddy bear, a wren, a snowy forest, holly and mistletoe, Christmas reindeer, a sleigh filled with gifts and a Christmas stocking with a teddy bear.
  

•  Enjoy painting the beads and tassels in assorted colours and add cute patterns using the Skrib markers. Leave to dry.
• Assemble each piece using strands of string and leaving a good length at the top to hang them onto the branches, or even suspend them to create a festive garland...
