Instructions:

Step 1:

If you are using the Makin's Professional® Ultimate Clay Machine®,roll the black clay out at setting 3.  I used playing cards as a guide. I placed 5 playing cards glued together on either side of my clay.  Then I rolled the Makin’s ® Black clay with my acrylic roller until the thickness of the clay matched the thickness of the playing cards. 

Step 2:

Spray a texture sheet of your choice with a little water.  Place the sheet on the clay, then roll with the acrylic roller to impress the clay with texture. 


Step 3:

Use the flower cutter to cut 7 blossoms from the textured clay.  Allow the blossoms to fully dry.

Step 4:

Once the blossoms are dry paint them with the gold paint.  Only one coat is needed.  Allow the paint to dry.

Step 5:

Paint the blossoms with purple flash, then allow to dry. 

Step 6:

Brush lightly with yellow and green flash.


Step 7:

Apply UV resin.

Step 8:

Use a toothpick to pull the resin to the edge of the blossoms, then cure.


Step 9:

Cut a 2.5 inch circle.

Step 10:

Apply glue to blossom.


Step 11:

Place the first blossom in the center of the 2.5 inch circle.

Step 12:

Arrange and glue the rest of the blossoms around the center blossom.


Step 13:

Use a craft knife to trim the clay from the outside of the blossoms.

Step 14:

Glue cabochons to the center of each blossom.


Step 15:

Apply glue to the magnet.   

Step 16:

Glue magnet to back of blossoms.
