step two.
Place a 12 x 12 square sheet of wax paper onto your work surface to keep your clay from sticking or damaging your counter top(s), place your clay onto the wax paper and starting rolling your clay to about 1/4" thickness.
Step three.
Take your cookie cutters and start cutting out your shapes, once you are done make sure to poke a hole in the center to add your twine later on, next place your shapes on a cardboard sheet and let dry for 1-3 days; you heard right, 1-3 days depending on the thickness of your clay.
