project at your local craft store or on Amazon.

8 Bake the ornaments in an ovenproof
glass dish or a baking sheet lined and
tented with aluminum foil to prevent
the ornaments from burning. Bake for 15
minutes longer than the package suggests
to make sure your clay is completely fused.

Remove ornaments from the oven and allow
to cool completely. (Note: The clay doesn’t
set until it has completely cooled.)
9 Apply a generous amount of glue to the
bottoms of each rainbow. Press the flat-
backed pearls in a random arrangement
to look like clouds. Let the ornaments dry
overnight. 10
Thread a length of twine or ribbon
through the hole at the top of
the rainbow ornaments. Hang them in a
window or on your tree. n
