Method:
Find a round clock to transform into a holly wreath. This plastic clock came from a thrift store. Makin’s Clay® is ideal for
this project because it does not have to go into the oven to cure making it the
perfect clay to cover the plastic clock.
Start by using the Makin’s® Push Mold
- Christmas Nature and the red clay to mold a bunch of the holly
berries. (I made 30 but only used
15.) Set aside to dry.
Using the Makin’s
Professional® Ultimate Clay Machine® and the green clay, roll out a sheet
of clay on the #3 setting or a standard playing card thickness of 4. Use the holly leaf cutter from the Makin’s™ Cutter Set – Christmas A to cut several leaves.
(I made about 100 but only about 16 at a time. I put the leaves between two pieces of
silicone to keep them from drying out while I used them.) Using this method will make all of the leaves
the same size and thickness.
Place the leaf on a curved
surface and let dry.




With the tacky glue, glue the border around the entire
clock face.
Begin making the wreath by gluing one of the three petal
arrangements to the clock. Fill in around
it by gluing single leaves under the leaves.
Continue adding the three leaf arrangements and single petals all the
way around the clock.
