I must love flowers! Some of my favorite projects include them. I have been working on projects including clay flowers and here is how I made some for one that is coming soon:
Take some self drying clay and roll it into a ball.

Press the ball down on a sheet of plastic wrap so it flattens out.

Carve a spiral (my favorite shape) into the center of the flattened disc. Trim off the edges.

Let them dry overnight. I apologize for the dingy looking photos. Stay tuned to see how I use these in a project, Bargain-ista style!
