These decorative flowers made of soft clay are a real eye-catcher. They are the ideal way to usher in spring. It is also great fun to make the colourful clay flowers and give free rein to your creativity.
Craft colourful flowers
First, the different flowers are modelled from the clay. The different cookie cutters (circles and flowers) are used for this. These are then varied with modelling tools and small complementary elements. There are no limits to your choice of flower variation. Remember to poke a small hole in the top of each flower with a bamboo skewer. This hole will later be used to thread the flower onto a ribbon and hang it up that way.
Let dry well
Allow the finished modelled flowers to dry thoroughly. This works best on a cake rack, for example, so that the drying can take place evenly from above and below. Now paint the flowers with clay sealant and let this dry as well.
Now colour comes into play
Now paint the clay flowers with craft paint in your favourite colours and finally finish the whole thing with Triple Gloss varnish. This makes the pendants weatherproof and also gives them a great shine, as is the case with fired and glazed ceramics.
Refine with a ribbon
Finally, thread each flower onto a long piece of organza ribbon and hang it on a branch of the "Dahlke" birch tree.
