Santa's Boot

This is a clay Santa boot I made in school in first or second grade, back in the 1950s. To make a New Millennium version, roll out some polymer clay to about 1/8" thick. Cut a shape with your favorite cookie cutter. Use a sharp knife, scissor point, or skewer to make a hanging hole at the top center. Bake according to clay instructions, about 20 minutes at 250ºF, more or less. When cool, sand where needed, and paint as desired. Add a ribbon or other hanger, and sign and date on the back.
