HOW TO MAKE a CLAY FLOWER

I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE A REALISTIC CLAY FLOWER

FIRST TAKE A BALL OF CLAY ANY COLOR YOU WANT FOR THE FLOWER AND PUT IT ON A NONE STICK SURFACE LIKE WAX PAPER OF A PAPER FOLDER LIKE ONES YOU USE FOR SCHOOL.

Step 1:

NOW YOU PINCH OF A LITTLE CLAY BALL. THIS WILL BE THE CENTER OF THE FLOWER.

Step 2:

YOU TAKE THE BALL AND FLATTEN IT UOT BUT NOT TOO SKINNY OR IT WILL RIP WHEN YOU TRY TO WORK WITH IT.

Step 3:

NOW ROLL IT UP LIKE I HAVE SHOWN HERE. SORRY THE PIC IS KIND OF BLURRY.

Step 4:

NOW YOU TAKE MORE CLAY AN FLATTEN IT OUT AGAIN. THIS WILL BECOME A PETAL. 

Step 5:

NOW ADD AS MANY AS YOU WANT UNTIL IT IS THE SIZE YOU WANT IT TO BE. THIS ONE IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A NICKEL.

Step 6:

YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE END GETS KIND OF LONG SO WHAT I LIKE TO DO IS TRIM IT WITH SCISSORS OR A SWISS ARMY KNIFE.

Step 7:

THIS STEP IS OPTIONAL, BUT I LIKE TO MAKE LEAVES FOR MY FLOWERS. SO YOU GET SOME GREEN CLAY.

Step 8:

YOU CAN SHAPE THEM HOW YOU LIKE AND PLACE THEM ON THE FLOWER.

Step 9:

HERE IS THE FLOWER THAT I MADE AND A DIFFERENT ONE.
