How to make rose flower from deco clay.
DIY Rose clay flower
Supplies Required:
Air-dry red or white clay
(If you are using white clay) Red acrylic paint
A toothpick or tools for sculpting clay
A smooth cylindrical item or a rolling pin
Wrapping plastic
a little water bowl
(Optional) craft glue
Guidelines:
Get the clay ready:
If you have white air-dry clay, knead it until it becomes flexible and soft.
To the white clay, add the red acrylic paint and knead until the color is equally dispersed. This step can be skipped if your red clay comes pre-colored
Make the Petals:
Form some clay into the shape of a marble by rolling little amounts of it into a ball.
Using a rolling pin or your fingertips, flatten the ball into a thin petal. Approximately the size of a coin with a somewhat thicker bottom.
Create the Rosebud:
To create the rose’s center, tightly roll the first petal.
To make the next petal, take another little piece of clay, roll it into a ball, and flatten it.
Gently fold this petal over the first petal, encircling the rosebud.
Incorporate Additional Petals:
Proceed to form little clay balls, flatten them into petals, and surround the rosebud with them.
To generate a bloom that seems natural, each new petal should be positioned slightly lower and overlap the preceding one by a small amount.
If necessary, use a small amount of water to assist the petals stick together.
Form the Petals:
For a more lifelike appearance, curve the petal edges outward with your fingers or sculpting tools.
As you proceed, adjust the petals to make sure the rose appears natural and in balance.
Organize the Leave (Optional) :
Form little clay balls into leaves by flattening them.
For the leaves, use a toothpick or sculpting tool to make veins.
Gently press the leaves into the base of the rose to secure them.
Desiccation:
After the rose is finished, let it to dry on some parchment paper or plastic wrap.
Let the clay rose air dry entirely; depending on the size and thickness of the petals, this could take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours.
Final Details:
When the rose dries, you can paint it again or, if you’d like, seal it with a clear acrylic sealer.
Advice:
To avoid the clay drying out too soon while you’re working, work in a cool, dry atmosphere.
Remaining clay should be covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.
Before trying a full rose, practice creating individual petals and shaping them together.
These instructions should enable you to make lovely air-dry clay red roses. Have fun creating!
