With Christmas just around the corner Mom and I decided to add a little bling to our tree! (inspired by this tutorial) This super easy DIY is also great to use as gifts for all your doggie friends! So easy your could make these this weekend as gift toppers for all your gifts!

Materials:

• Model Magic
• Gold Spray Paint
• Rolling Pin
• Wax Paper
• Cookie Cutter (I used this fun dachshund shape)
• Bamboo Skewer
• Twine

Optional Supplies:

• Glitter
• Alphabet Rubber Stamps

Step 1: Lay out a sheet of wax paper and using your rolling pin flatten out a piece of model magic that is large enough to fit your cookie cutter. Keeping it about 1/2″ to 1″ thick.

Step 2: Press your cookie cutter into the model magic.

Step 3: Tear away the excess and poke your bamboo skewer into the spot where you want the string for hanging to be.

Step 4: (optional) You can stamp a name or word into your ornament using the rubber stamps if you choose. It’s a great way to personalize them for all your friends! (no ink required as you will be painting them later)

Step 5: Allow the model magic ornaments to dry for several days so that they harden. (they will harden faster if you set them near a heat source (not on it!) and remove them from the wax paper)

Step 6: Once your ornaments have hardened you can add a few coats of gold spray paint (or really any color you like). Optional – add some glitter by sprinkling it on while your paint is still wet.

Then just add some twine and your ornaments are ready to hang on your tree or gift to a friend!

Only thing that would make these better is if they were actually edible (which sadly they are not), paws crossed for edible dog bone ornaments for next year!
