Clay bouquet in yogurt cup vase
Craft supplies
For flowers: air dry clay (we used red, orange and purple for petals and green for receptacle (green cup around bottom of the flower crown)
Green chenille stems
For vase: yogurt cup
Acrylic paint, brush
Ribbon
Stickers
Marbles or pebbles or anything heavy to put inside the cup (to make the vase stable)
Directions
First, mold the roses. Make “sausage”, flatten, roll. Make six petals – take small clay balls, flatten, pinch on one side, connect around the crown
To make a receptacle (cup), make a ball, flatten it into a pancake
Pierce chenille stem in the middle of “pancake”, put on the rose, adjust a cup
Put the roses in the glass or cup to dry, meanwhile prepare a vase:
Paint yogurt cup, let it dry
Decorate it with stickers, gems, sequins, or draw anything you want with permanent markers
Tie a ribbon around
Fill the cup with something heavy – marbles, pebbles or coins
Put the roses into a new vase
Present to somebody who’ll definitely love it!
