Air Dry Clay Sand Dollar Ornaments

These festive sand dollar ornaments are made with Staedtler Fimo Air Light (Amazon), a clay that air dries. Clay is one of the easiest ways to craft sand dollar ornaments. You get a natural matte texture that looks organically coastal, and you can make them in any size or finish.



Watch the video and see how this lovely sand dollar ornament is crafted by hand, using air dry clay.



If you want to make resin sand dollars, check out these Resin Molds -they come in all kinds of sea life shapes. Resin will give your ornaments a beautiful glossy, beach-glass-like finish that looks stunning on a coastal Christmas tree. 

Turning sand dollar cookies into ornaments is a fun and nostalgic take on coastal ornaments. Instead of edible dough, use Salt Dough that bakes hard and lasts for years.
