Craft the Perfect Christmas - DIY festive decor, earrings & gift ideas using the xTool M1!

[@Lilac80]

My favorites are the tree bookmark and the advent calendar boxes. So many crafty ideas!

[@myclayco]

Those are some of my favorites too! I love a good bookmark! ☺️

[@glyndamcwhorter3121]

My favorite are the bows and the snow globe with the reindeer. Then of course the tree and boxes.

[@myclayco]

Saaaaame - I want those hair clips bows in all the colours now 😂

[@scheherezade3]

Couldn’t decide between the tree earrings with the cutouts and those adorable cutouts with the snowflakes you put the clay behind, lol. And let’s not forget those pink snowflakes. My daughter would love those. Very fun video!

[@myclayco]

I know, so many cute earring choices! I have actually worn the snowflake cut outs and pink snowflakes this week, they turned out so cute and we not super Christmassy so I can get away with wearing them before the holiday season has truly hit! 😉

[@wendyschaefer9146]

My favorite was the deer candle holder and the advent boxes and tree! Absolutely beautiful work ladies!

[@myclayco]

Thank you! We love them too (and they were so fun to make!)

[@shontellehackett-vanderkro7908]

My favorite is the bookmark, the gift tags, and the snow globe. I couldn't pick just one!

[@myclayco]

It is hard to pick one!

[@mrs.imranq7778]

Wow such a beautiful advent calendar, best design.

[@myclayco]

Thank you 🥰 it was a lot of boxes to put together, but was worth it, it really did turn out beautifully!

[@janetplunkett3194]

My favorites was the deer candle holder that white polymor clay with glitter really made it stand out.

[@myclayco]

Yes, it looks so pretty shimmering in the background! ✨

[@lucyroper4837]

I loved the stencil earrings with the clay as the background and the bows ❤ also that machine is amazing!!

[@myclayco]

I’m obsessed with that hair bow! 😍 yes, it is such a cool machine! Can’t believe they put a blade cutter in a laser cutter! Such an awesome combo for crafters ☺️

[@karenmelson7634]

Snowflake earrings and bookmark is my favorite 😊

[@myclayco]

I loooooove those snowflake earrings too 😍❄️

[@shaeward3447]

I love the little christmas tree earrings. I saw you use this pattern as a clay cutter in a previous video with gold mica and thought it was super. It looks even sweeter as little earrings

[@myclayco]

Awwww thank you! 🥰 We love the design so much, was so nice to be able to make wooden components with it too!

[@kathrynvanloon8443]

Wow! Sooo many gorgeous things!! I do love the little boxes for the advent calendar and the candle holder is stunning!😍

[@myclayco]

Thank you! 🥰 yes, the little boxes are so cute - we actually put some LED tea lights in them too and they looked so pretty!

[@glynscott7634]

I love the Reindeer candle holder and the advent boxes. You girls are amazing. Such great work you do. 🦋😊

[@myclayco]

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰 yes, I love those little boxes!

[@katiewiserkrizek8055]

Love the big Christmas tree!

[@myclayco]

Thank you! Yes, it turned out so good! 🎄

[@TheLilacCoral]

Hello from the UK - my favourites are the Christmas tree wooden earrings. I love the designs and how you've transferred your polymer clay cutter design over to the laser cutter. I like how easy it is to paint them with those acrylic paint pens!

[@myclayco]

Thank you, love them too! 🥰 It was so satisfying to see them converted to wooden components!

[@lauriealbert2351]

The mylar stencil used to make the christmas tree book mark. I love the gold and green colors used.

[@myclayco]

Yes, love the stencil too! Definitely more stencil making to come!

[@floridagranniro2445]

So beautiful ❤

[@myclayco]

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

[@mackenziegeyer2467]

Wait i already submitted my answer but i think i actually really love the reindeer candle holder better 😂😍 so beautiful, you guys are just brilliant!😍

[@myclayco]

Oh thank you 🥰🥰🥰 haha don’t worry, I can’t make up my mind either 😂

[@sylviakelly4943]

My favorite was the round earrings with the blue background. Could you put the baked clay in the X-Tool? I was thinking to put a design on after baking. Looks like a fun tool. Thanks ❤❤

[@myclayco]

I love them too, the layered effect is cool 😊 I actually did some googling when we got the xTool to find out if you can engrave polymer clay and unfortunately you can’t! Because of polymer clay’s PVC makeup it makes some not-so-nice fumes when it’s engraved or cut … we’ll have to stick to stamps and texture mats!

[@crystalforseeodeneal1666]

I wish I could afford the x-tool, so many amazing projects!!! I am partial to the jewelry though. I love the snowflakes, but the cutouts with the clay were so multi detention, I have to say, those are my top choice! Thank you for all the great inspiration ladies 👏👏👏

[@celestewilliams7226]

I am definitely have a bows moment ❤

[@myclayco]

Yes, I love the bows 😍 I literally just ordered barrette clips for us to stock because I want to make myself a bunch of bows 😂

[@mrsmiggins6435]

Good advert for the machine

[@myclayco]

Yes, it is amazing what it can do! We hope it helps inspire some Christmas crafting ideas ☺️

[@MissM_PsychCrime]

Great vid ladies 😄 I love the advent calendar, but my favourite, being an absolute bookworm, has to be the bookmark. I also adore the tradition of exchanging books on Christmas Day. Can you adopt me, I'm a very lonely book lover in my family haha xx

[@myclayco]

Thank you 🥰 haha consider yourself adopted! 😂❤️

[@cynthiajfaulkner8655]

Also, a sand eraser would take that paint right off your paper package. Tombow also makes them if you have the brand in Australia. It might be easier to use an ink like Staz On but you did well by pouncing the paint.

[@myclayco]

So many great tips, you are a pro! Will have to add a sand eraser to the list so we can tidy up our extra paint slodges 🙈☺️

[@cynthiajfaulkner8655]

@ Clay is new to me, but I’ve done a lot of papercrafting over the years!

[@christinebartleson3838]

This is the first time seeing this machine. I am hooked!!! Can it make silk screens? ❤

[@myclayco]

It is so cool and can do so many things! We love it 😍 We are still exploring what it can do but apparently you can make silk screens, it’s possible using both the blade cutter and laser cutter apparently so that might have to be a project for the new year! 😁

[@cynthiajfaulkner8655]

Right tool for the job - Tombow mono glue for papercrafting. It will also work with a lot of multimedia - definitely on the wood. Not sure about the clay.

[@myclayco]

Thanks so much for the suggestion - I just googled it and we do have it here! It won’t work with polymer clay but will be great for our other crafts! 😊

[@Judgebeau]

I like the gift tags! Just wish the X Tool was more affordable…😅

[@myclayco]

Yes, we understand it may not be within everyone’s budget but hopefully it still gave you some Christmas crafting ideas! It also gives us a fun prize for our giveaway 😊

[@lilythepurple]

I've asked for gift cards or the earrings gift set for Christmas, looking forward to getting making in the new year! When are you closed over the festive period?

[@myclayco]

Oh yay, it is so fun making your own polymer clay earrings and things! You will love it! We are only closed on the public holidays over the holiday season 😊🎄

[@daveterry4326]

Great video, very helpful, thank you. Quick question, what resin are you using for doming? Looks like a single part? I use a 2 part currently and waste so much product on smaller jobs

[@myclayco]

Thank you! It’s UV resin and works particularly well for doming pieces - we use the Just Resin brand, have used it for years on our polymer clay makes and stock it on our website if you want to check it out 😊

[@maggiechampion655]

Pointless really.. not everyone has this tool.

[@myclayco]

True that not everyone has one, but hopefully it still gave crafters some project ideas. We did try to make most things so that they could be replicated using other mediums, using laser blanks or on the cricut/silhouette 😊 Plus it gave us a fun prize to giveaway ☺️
