Step 5Put it all together
Now to finish things up!
Roll the center piece out on your work surface until it's smooth, but don't roll it to far out. You'll want to keep it as thick as possible. Trim the ends off--they tend to get distorted. Don't throw away the excess! Keep all of your trimmings in one place, as they make a good background for your final product.
Roll out the petal until it's the same thickness as the center piece. Trim the ends off of this as well. Cut the petal into six equally long pieces. Hopefully these will be close to the same length as the center piece. Stack these six petals around the middle, as seen in the picture below and add a triangular wedge of the background color between each petal on the outside edge.
That's pretty much it! Now just roll it down to whatever size you need, trim the ends off, and each slice will be the same flower. Make whatever beads or decorations you need, and bake them in the oven according to the instructions on the packaging.
For beads, a lot of people say you should shove a toothpick through before baking so you'll have a hole for the string. I prefer not to, as this distorts the beads and the hole is never as big as I need it to be. I just leave them hole free, bake them, and then drill them out after they've cooled. This method makes a mess, but it's worth it!
