Clay Pink Roses

Hi everyone! In this article I want to share my Pink Roses and briefly about how to make them :)

The roses were made from Sculpey Polymer Clay.

Steps ^^~

1) Start with a tiny ball in the center then work your way out with petals in a clockwise direction.

2) For the petals you need to take a small ball and squish it until you get a thin layer of pink clay. Take note of the amount of clay you take, it has to be approximately the same and bigger amount as you work your way out. You do not want a perfect circle, but a nice tear drop shape. Then you would set the tear drop shape in 45 degrees angle and stick them to the latest petal in your roses, and do this until you achieve enough petals in your roses.

3) To get a realistic look, bend each rose petal downward with your fingers to make a bit of indentation that a rose usually had. The key is just to be patient while working with clay miniature :)

4) For the stem, that is not clay. It is a flexible iron stick that can be purchased from craft store.

It is actually not so hard to made this, you just need to practice in order to get the feeling.
I made 5 roses before I get the hang of it and I'm planning to made other colors for the roses and put them together as a flower arrangement ^^ So I hope you guys enjoy the making of roses and give it a try.
