– white Sculpey clay

– Sculpey tool kit

– twine

– gold paint

– paint brush

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat your oven to 275 degrees.

2. Open your package of clay and tear off two bars.

3. Roll the clay into a ball.

4. Using the knife tool, cut into the side of the ball at an angle creating a flat face.

5. Make a second cut right next to the first.

6. Repeat Step 5 until the entire ball has been carved.

7. Gently smooth out the edges.

8. Poke a hole in the top of the ornament large enough to slide the string through.

9. Place the ornament on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes or more depending on the size of your ornament (15 minutes of baking time for every 1/4 inch of clay).

10. Remove the ornament from the oven and let cool.

11. Paint the bottom faces of the ornament, adding as many coats as you need.

12. Slip the string through the hole and tie.

Sculpey clay is so easy and fun to use – just shape and bake!

Since you’ll be cutting off parts of the clay ball, your ornament will be a bit smaller than the original shape, so keep that in mind when you are deciding how large you want it to be.

Make sure you don’t gouge your finger into the ball as you cut. It’s a delicate little guy. Most of our ornaments wound up with five sides on the top half and around five to seven on the bottom.

There isn’t a set pattern you need to follow, just keep slicing until it looks like a gem. In fact, we really like how each one is a little bit different.

Smooth out the edges using your finger. Be really gentle with the ornament because it’s easy to leave finger prints and make uneven surfaces.

Use the poker tool in your Sculpey kit to skewer the ornament. You’ll need to roll the tool around a bit to make the hole the right size. The clay doesn’t shrink too much when it is cooked, but you might want to make the hole a little bit bigger than the size you need.

The time will vary depending on the size of your ornament, but we put ours in for 30 minutes. If you make one out of two packages of Sculpey, be sure to leave it in the oven longer – until it is hard. It’ll be hot, but you can lightly touch the side and see how firm it is.

Make sure to let them cool before you start painting.

We painted the bottom faces gold, but you could leave them white, add a color, paint the entire ornament or bedazzle them with glitter, though you might come out with a disco ball.

Slip the string through the hole, and then tie it at the top. We are loving these classy ornaments! They look stunning on our little tree.

Outer Banks season 4 part 2 finally dropped November 7, and after theories were swirling around our favorite Pogues — is Sarah pregnant? Will JJ die? Will the group FINALLY get their hands on some treasure (and NOT lose it?) — we got the answers we'd been waiting for. And unfortunately, not all of them were answers we wanted. Sarah is indeed pregnant but the Pogues finally avenged Terrance, but in the final moments of the Outer Banks season 4 ending, we also lost JJ which is something I literally can't believe I'm writing. JJ and Kiara are the one couple fans latched onto (and that the cast and crew never saw coming) and to finally see them in a relationship only to lose JJ 10 episodes later? I'm heartbroken.

Creators Josh & Jonas Pate and Shannon Burke recently revealed Outer Banks season 5 will be "an epic fifth and final season," and there's one theory going around that makes that finale even more emotional. Here's everything you need to know aboutOuter Banksseason 5. Bring it on home John B.!

  • Outer Banks season 5 will be the last season of the hit Netflix show.
  • The series will follow Kiara and the Pogues getting revenge on Chander Groff for JJ's death.
  • Josh & Jonas Pate and Shannon Burke say "it will be our best [season] yet."


Is JJ really dead?

@unsiredd#obx#outerbanks#jjmaybank#johnbroutledge#johnb#sarahcameron#obx4#fyp#foryou#fireworks♬ Where'd All the Time Go? - Dr. Dog

There are a few theories about how Outer Banks season 5 will handle JJ's death (aside from Kiara's chilling vow to get revenge, of course). Some fans have their fingers crossed the group will use the Blue Crown to wish him back to life, while others are holding onto hope he was simply unconscious. But there's one theory that stands out among the rest to me: JJ is really dead, and this whole time, John B.'s narration has been telling his unborn child about his namesake.

The show teased Sarah and John B. will name their baby JJ, and since Outer Banks is all about family, friendship, and spending time with one another, the reveal that all along, Outer Banks has been the story of the Pogues' adventures would literally be the perfect way to send them off. I'm literally crying just thinking about it.

Will there be a 5th Outer Banks?

Yes, we're getting a fifth and final season of Outer Banks coming to Netflix soon. While we don't have an official release date yet, we're expecting to see the last installment in 2025 or 2026.

In their official letter "to all Pogues," creators Josh & Jonas Pate and Shannon Burke explain how a photo of teenagers on a beach during a power outage inspired them to create the hit show we've all come to know and love. "From this beginning, we imagined a mystery that would lead to a five-season journey of adventure, treasure hunting, and friendship," they say in an official letter. "At the time, seven years ago, it seemed impossible that we would really get to tell the whole five season story, but here we are, at the end of our fourth season, still chopping away."

"Now, with a little sadness, but also excitement, we're putting Season Four behind us and turning to Season Five, in which we hope to bring our beloved Pogues home in the way we imagined and planned years ago," they continue. "Season Five will be our last season, and we think it will be our best yet. We hope you'll join us for one more paddle out to the surf break."

I can't wait to see Outer Banks season 5, and TBH five seasons will round out the show perfectly considering each season focuses on a different Pogue. That means season 5 will probably focus on Sarah alongside Kiara's revenge. 👀 Stay tuned for all the OBX5 info you need to know.

Here's Yep, Outer Banks Season 4 Just Killed Off THAT Character in case you're still processing.

You read that right – the Phoebe Bridgers x Catbird jewelry collection is getting a restock on May 24.

The singer-songwriter's collaboration with Catbird Jewelry (that originally dropped in February and quickly sold out) features six enchanting charms that recall various themes and lyrics of her songs, and they are simply perfect. As part of the collaboration with Bridgers, the Catbird Giving Fund is donating $25,000 to The National Center for Transgender Equality in honor of their work in policy change. Supporting an amazing cause, and our favorite artist? We're in.

The collection flaunts a duo pair of charms. What better way to celebrate your bestie than splitting the pair with them? Whether you and your bestie are silver wearers, or more go-for-gold girlies, don't fret — Bridgers made sure both preferences are covered in the designs. Scroll for the collection and shop it when the pieces return on May 24. We're *dreaming* about wearing it.
