- Create your own lit up Christmas ornament or bauble, using the step by step instructions in this video tutorial. I start by showing how to make an easy Fridge Magnet or Card Topper, then move on to the more complex ornament. So, add a bit of seasonal cheer to your decorations by creating this winter wonderland scene using Polymer Clay.
You can get subtitles and slow down any of the fast-forwarded bits of the video using your settings icon.
So, sit back, relax and watch as I take you through the process.

The glass ornaments can be found at many retailers, here is where mine are from in the UK - www.amazon.co....
The ornament is lit by battery operated bottle lights which are widely available online and in stores.

The large round cutters come as a set and can be found by searching under ‘Round Cutter Sets’ at various online retailers or in your local stores.
The small round cutters can either be bought in a set specifically used for polymer clay from many shops on Etsy, (I originally got mine from MyMandarinDucky on Etsy - www.etsy.com/u... ) but I have also bought them direct off eBay, where you can search under ‘Cord Pin End Crimp Terminal Wire Copper Connectors’ to find similar cutters, but you will get a huge amount all the same sizes.
The burnishing tool I use is called a Stainless-steel Soap and can be widely found online and in stores (it is normally used to take away garlic or fish smells from hands).
The small crystals I use are called Chatons. Here is an example of ones you can buy - www.spellboundb...

Thank you so much for watching.
Wonderful tutorial!!! Concise but detailed down to the color mixture and amts!!! Thanks!
I am so glad you enjoyed it, thank you :)
Whenever I feel stressed, I say to myself, I need to listen to Fiona! Not only is your work beautiful, but your calm and positive demeanor always cheers me up. Thank you so much for all you do
What a wonderful comment, that means so much, thank you Maria :)
Intricate and lovely. Thank you so much for sharing your talent! ❤️😍
Thank you so much 🙂
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I used glitter clay in the sky which looked liked distant stars and replaced the bush with a snowman (in my world, every snow scene needs a snowman). I have now made another which is just a snowman amongst lots of trees. Thoroughly enjoyed making these. I think next year I may do a similar thing out of icing and use them for my cake topper. Can’t wait to see the next tutorial 😊
they sound amazing, and it also sounds like you are having great fun which is fantastic. Thanks so much for taking the time to tell me about them, I love to hear what adaptations people go on to do :)
Fiona Abel-Smith PolyOriginals I am still fairly new to the world of clay, I was wandering as you have put this onto a bauble, I’m guessing if I had a plain mug, I would be able to stick it to one of those and make a Christmas mug ? If so would I need to seal it so the mug could be washed ?
Thank you for taking the time to reply, hope you had a good Christmas and I wish you a happy, crafty new year !!
@@cleverclogsbecky Have a look at online photos of mugs decorated with polymer clay, and you will see there are loads of them, so yes it works on mugs, and you shouldn't need to seal it. However, you do need to be aware that it shouldn't be machine washed, only gently by hand, with no Scourer, and depending on how you arrange your design around the mug, it may be liable to ping off the mug if the edge of the design is caught. I hope that helps :)
Dear Fiona,Thank you for wonderful tutorial .........!!!!!!!!
Thank you Antonis :)
I love how you've shown the actual amounts of clay alongside the colors they make. It makes color mixing/matching SO much easier!
thank you, I am so glad it was helpful :)
Oh. My. Goodness! This is too gorgeous not to try my hand at. I've never done a scenery piece, thanks to your inspiration, I feel like I can actually give this a try with a modicum of success🌹 Wish me luck
I wish you loads of luck, and I am sure yours will look wonderfujl. Just remember to relax, enjoy it and have fun with your clay. 🙂
Every time you make a video I say, “This is the most magnificent piece Fiona has ever created!” This surely has to be the most spectacular piece you could create, good luck topping this one!
I can’t believe how much difference adding the snow details made!! It took the piece from being very nice, to being phenomenal.
Oh bless you, thanks so much. So no pressure on me for 2020 then!! ;) :)
You are truly amazing!! I have been so fascinated to watch your videos. I have been doing clay for 30 years but your work is so very beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us
Oh wow, you have seen a lot of changes in the medium then, such knowledge you must have. Thank you so much for your very kind comments :)
Fiona, you are such an inspiration! Your tutorials are just the best! So calm and soothing to listen to you as you create these outstanding pieces. I have had such fun times recreating your pieces and adding to them to make them my own. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and immense talent.
I am so happy you have enjoyed them, and it makes my day when someone says they've then added them to make something of their own, just what I hope when I do these pieces, so thank you so much :)
Just gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial with us!
Thanks so much Rachel :)

As a painter at heart, I really appreciate this style of "painting with clay" :D ❤️ I makes sense to me :) and OMG it turned out stunning! :D I don´t like X-mas, but just a winter scene, I can totally see myself having one of those :)
Amazing work luv ❤️
Thanks CrixJoki, and yes you can't beat a little winter scene, I love painting them in actual paint as well as clay too ;)
super
thank you Lussine :)
Would be nice to add mica flakes to simulate snow
Great idea, give it a go :)

Hi Fiona, thank You very much for your tutorials. I started working with polymer clay 6 months ago in part because of your tutorials. 😊 They're helping me a lot. I don't have much time because of work and kids, so I make things just for fun and as gifts. This tutorial caught me at home, because I'm ill. So I made a quick gift for my 96 year old grandmother inspired by it. After baking I found out I was using glow in the dark all the time instead of a translucent clay 😀. Happy Holidays and thanks for making my evenings not just about TV (and sorry for my English) 😊

You English is amazing, and I love the photos of your work. Using the night glow clay will just add to the effect. I am so happy you are enjoying the videos, and thank you so much for your lovely comment. Happy Hoildays to you too :)
Beautiful!
Thank you :)
