Knead and soften the clay. Roll small balls and cylinders for each part such as Santa’s hat, beard, face, and snowman’s round body.
Shape your characters one by one. For Santa, form a triangle red hat, round face, and white beard curls. For the snowman, stack two white spheres and add a scarf and carrot nose. The Christmas tree can be made from layered green cones with tiny colorful ornaments.
Use the dotting tool to mark eyes and smiles, and gently press the pieces together before baking.
Bake according to your clay’s instructions (usually around 265°F / 130°C for 15–20 minutes). Allow to cool completely.
Once cool, glue magnets to the back of each piece and let them set.
