Miniature Roses

Make a decorative project with home-made cold porcelain

You Will Need

sharp knife
an item to decorate, like a vase or flower pot
strong glue

To Make
1 Roll a small ball of dough in your hands and shape it into a sausage by rolling it between your palms. Press it down onto a flat work surface and roll the dough out thinly. It doesn’t matter if the edges are slightly uneven, in fact, it helps to make the roses look softer.

2 Roll up the thinly rolled dough to form a rose. Use a sharp knife to cut off the outside edge cleanly. Place the rose on the cut-off edge to dry.

3 As soon as the roses are completely dry, they can be used to decorate vases, flower pots and other objects. Use a very strong glue (we used Bostik Blits Stik Gel) to paste them in place.
