Use the cookie cutter to cut a small circle out of the clay.

Step-3

Use the pencil or skewer to create a hole 1cm into the clay – ensure this is large enough for the ribbon to fit through when dry.

Step-4

Use the pencil or letter stamps to spell out a message for the person you're creating the medal for.
