Tutorial - Flower hair clip

I started working with clay in 2009-2010, and the first thing I made was flowers.
I still have the first flower I made, and its very special to me.
Today when I see it I smile and feel good, that how nicely I am handling clay, creating things in a way I have imagined. 
Sharing Image of my first flowers.
No one never teach me how to work with clay, its just practice, practice, practice.
and I created beautiful petals in my own way.
Its been a long time I shared this tutorial on my Facebook page.
Now I am posting regularly my bog, sharing it here with my readers as-well. 

The Flower hair clip Tutorial / DIY

A beautiful flower clip I made for my niece for her First Birthday
Sharing my 9 east steps to create a beautiful clip. Make it for you or as a beautiful gift so someone.

***Get ready with the material list.***
-Polymer clay in for favorite color
-Wooden tooth pic
-Small scissors
-Hair clip

Lets Begin .....

Step 1 : Take a small amount of Clay, and roll it like a ball. it don't need to be a perfect round.


Step 2 - Now shape it like a water drop/ tear drop


Step 3 - Take toothpick and make a small hole in center


Step 4 - Now fun part - cut equal parts with your scissors - they will be your petals.
For beginning you can start with four, I am making six.


Step 5 - Take toothpick and genteelly try to expand that petal.. 
***Handle with care, and no much pressure.


Step 6 - And just like that make all six petals...
 Tada.. you made a flower.. Congratulations!!!!


Step 7 - I have made 3 flowers, and a bud for my hair clip.


Step 8 - Time to arranged them, I choose a silver center for my flowers.. 
I made 3 small balls and stuck them to each flower. Now, made dots on these balls with my toothpick.


Step 9 - Now bake your flowers as per direction on the package of your clay..
