Family traditions at Christmas are important because they create lasting memories, strengthen bonds, and provide a sense of stability and belonging. They bring us together, allowing for shared experiences and deeper connections with our loved ones. When it comes to making memories, there are truly so many options! Let me share with you some Christmas traditions from my own family, as well as some ideas for yours.
Keep a memory on your bookshelf! Sculpey, known for their amazing oven-bake clay, has created a craft kit that is perfect for keeping yourself or for giving as a thoughtful and personal gift. Included is a well-constructed hinged frame plus the clay and tools for making your imprint. The frame measures 5” x 7” and easily stands up.
Directions are easy to follow. Knead the clay until soft, about 2 minutes. Use the roller and the knife tool (included) to shape and cut the clay to fit the frame. Press a little hand, foot, or paw into the clay. Bake the clay per instructions, being careful not to overbake.
When it cools, use the mounting tape to insert the clay into the frame on one side, and add a photo to the other side. What a perfectly personal keepsake! You might need 2 kits, one to keep and one to share! ~Sara
