Polymer clay rose tutorial
- Mix approx. 1 part Scarlet with 2 parts Titanium White to create a pink clay mixture
- Create 16 balls of clay and press them onto the plate in a circular shape
- Wrap a small piece of pink clay around the blunt end of a skewer to create a cone-shape
- Build up the petals by wrapping them around the cone, leaving a small gap between each petal
- Press a small 4-point star made of Basic Green clay onto the bottom of the flower to complete the rose
How to make a clay poppy
- Create 6 equal-sized balls of clay (approx. 1cm in diameter)
- Flatten them into circular shapes
- Overlap the petals equally to form a poppy shape, pressing the central point where they meet
- Insert a skewer through the centre of the flower
- Press one small ball of clay onto the top of the flower and another up through the skewer, sandwiching the flower petals between them
- Mix Scarlet and Basic Green to create a dark brown for the anthers
- Place them evenly around the stamen to finish the poppy
Polymer clay daisy
- Roll out a tube of Titanium White clay and cut it into equal-sized pieces to create the petals
- Roll each piece into a cone shape and then flatten them
- Arrange the petals in a circular shape to form the daisy
- Create a small ball of Basic Green and another of Lemon Yellow clay
- Thread the green ball onto a skewer and push it through the centre of the flower
- Press the yellow ball onto the flower and the green ball underneath
- Use the skewer to create indentations in the yellow ball for the flower’s centre
