Several months ago, I was contacted by an editor from Woman’s Day about creating a craft for their Best Ideas for Christmas special issue, and I am so excited to finally be able to share the news with you! I’ve been looking around the grocery store and at craft stores for the issue for a couple of weeks and haven’t spotted it yet, but I received two advance copies of the issue from Woman’s Day in the mail a few days ago, and it should be showing up in stores soon.
I’m honored to find my project in the company of crafts by Maya*Made, Make and Takes, Chez Beeper Bebe, and Simply Sublime, and it really is a surreal feeling to see my porcelain-look wreath ornaments in print, and in Woman’s Day, no less! About the ornaments — you can find the tutorial in the Best Ideas for Christmas Issue, and they’re really so easy to make. When I came up with the idea, I was able to make several in under an hour and with just one package of polymer clay.
Update: Woman’s Day has posted the feature on their website! Check out all of the “Make It Simple” holiday crafts, and learn how to make my porcelain-look wreath ornaments, too.

Can’t wait to find an issue! I have a hard time resisting the Holiday magazines…

Thanks so much, Keila! I appreciate it.

Kristen, I just wanted to tell you I saw this, and happily went off to buy some polymer clay. I had seen it in the stores, but never bough any. Usually my son and I work with salt dough. But this looked lovely enough to be worth the investment. We will be rolling and baking today. Thanks for the inspiration.

Julie – I’ve looked for it, too, and can’t seem to find it anywhere. I know someone who found it at the checkout at a convenience store, but I haven’t spotted it at any of my regular haunts (grocery store, Target, etc.). I do hope that you’ll find it because there are a lot of great ideas in the issue.
