In this tutorial, we bring to you yet another flower craft, using clay doughs and sheets of paper. The flower that we will be designing in this tutorial is the red rose. It is very simple to make and you also get to have a lot of fun with clay doughs while moulding them. So, collect all the material required, and let’s begin the tutorial.

DIY Clay Rose Bouquet Craft

Material Required

A black sheet of paper
A green paper straw
Red clay dough
Transparent plastic cover
A ribbon
A pair of scissors
Any flat surface
A scale

Procedure

Step 1: Starting With The Red Clay

Take some red clay and roll it on the table. Now, cut the roll into eight equal pieces using a pair of scissors. See the picture below for reference.

Step 2: Flatten The Clay Pieces

Place one of the clay pieces on the table and using a flat surface, apply pressure on it to convert it into a flattened circle. See the picture below for reference.

Step 3: Make Another Such Shape

Similarly, flatten another piece and place it on the previously flattened piece by covering half of its surface with this freshly flattened piece. See the picture below for reference.

Step 4: Place All The Pieces On Top Of Each Other

Repeat the flattening process on all the clay pieces and place them on top of each other exactly like you placed the two pieces in the previous step. See the picture below for reference.

Step 5: Cutting The Clay Pieces Using A Scale

Using a measuring scale, cut the entire clay sequence into a half by placing the scale, horizontally, throughout the middle section of the clay sequence. See the picture below for reference.

Step 6: Separating The Two Halves

Separate the two halves and lift one of the halves up in both your hands as shown in the picture below.

Step 7: Fold The Clay Sequence

Start making a fold on the left end of the clay sequence. The fold should be made towards the back side of the sequence. See the picture below for reference.

Step 8: Completing The Rose Shape

Continue folding the clay as a roll until you reach the other end of the clay sequence. See the picture below for reference. This completes the process of making the rose.

Step 9: Connect The Stem To The Rose

Take a green paper straw and fit it in the sequence right at the bottom of the rose as shown in the picture below.

Step 10: Working On The Sheet Of Paper

Take a black sheet of paper and make a small vertical fold at its bottom. Do not extend the fold up to the top. Make another fold on the sheet below this fold. Following this pattern fold the entire sheet compressing the bottom of the sheet into a small area. This shall create mild creases throughout the test of the sheet as shown in the picture below.

Step 11: Adjust The Rose In The Sheet

Fit the rose in the fold lying right in the middle of the black sheet as shown in the picture below.

Step 12: Wrapping The Sheet Around The Rose

Now, opening the sheet, wrap it around the flower pressing it at the point where the stem lies. Finally, wrap the plastic cover around the black sheet right at the stem of the rose. See the picture below for reference.

Finally, The Tying The Ribbon On The Plastic Cover

Take a ribbon and tie it around the plastic cover making a two-loop knot on the ribbon as shown in the picture below.
