Step 1: Prepare the Clay

  • Choose self-hardening clay in the colours of your choice.
  • Knead the clay to make it supple and easy to shape.
  • Divide the clay into equal portions.
  • Shape each portion into a horse body shape.
  • Use the modelling tools to add details.

Step 2: Allow to Dry

  • Using a straw, poke a hole in the upper part of the horse's body. Make sure it's big enough to pass a thread or ribbon through.
  • Leave the clay horses to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions. This may take several hours to a day.

Step 3: Paint

  • If desired, paint the horses with watercolour paints. Leave to dry.
  • For a glossy finish, you can apply a clear varnish once the paint has dried.

Step 4: Hang on the tree 

  • Pass a wire or ribbon through the drilled hole to create a loop for hanging.
  • Once everything is dry and ready, hang your clay horses on the Christmas tree.
