Helpful Tips:
How many clay name tags can I make from a package of clay?
We estimate that you should be able to get about 10 ornaments from a 2.2 pound package of DAS clay. The exact amount of gift tags will depend on the size of your cookie cutters and how thick or thin you roll the clay.

How else can I decorate my clay gift tags?
We love the simple look of these gift tags, but there are so many ways you can make them your own! Here are a few fun ideas:
Add texture to the gift tags with a cookie stamp or an embossed rolling pin Paint the gift tags with acrylic paint Use a paint pen to colour in the indented letters Brush on a thin coat of Mod Podge and then sprinkle some glitter over it Use a metallic paint pen to line the edge of the gift tag
Do I need letter stamps to make clay gift tags?
No, if you don’t have letter stamps, simply use a toothpick to scratch the letters into the clay. You can also use rubber stamps or write the name in later with a paint pen.
What type of clay is best for making clay tags?
We really like working with DAS modeling clay, a popular type of air dry clay. It starts out grey, but dries a nice, crisp white colour. Or you can use polymer clay (oven bake clay) to make your gift tags. Salt dough would also work nicely to make these DIY name tags.
