- square cookie cutter
- ceramic tile

Roll Clay
Roll out one color of clay onto wax paper until 1/4-inch thick.
Cut Square Shape
Press the cookie cutter into the rolled clay. Peel away the excess clay.
Stamp Holiday Saying
Transfer the square of clay onto the ceramic tile. Lay out the alphabet stamps in the saying you’d like to display. Here, I did "Glad Tidings." Use different-size letters for each line of text to give the ornaments a modern look.
Tip: It’s okay if you mess up. The clay can be rolled out numerous times and restamped.
