Retro rose

Hi again now as this post is a two step process I didn't post yesterday as I was working on this for you!

So lets begin first of all you will need to make a mould, I brought some silicone putty from eBay which enables you to make your own moulds!

1. Here is an image of the putty, as you can see it has two parts, part A and Part B.

2. Take a small amount of Part A, don't worry because a little goes a long way!

3. Now take an equal amount of part B.

4. Mix them together, if you are in a hot room or your hands are hot the putty will start to 'melt', but don't worry because this doesn't affect your mould!

5. You will need to wait until it turns a lighter purple and then press it gently over the object you wish to mould, I used a plastic roses which I purchased for £1 along with some other things! Leave it for 5 minutes then remove the object, leave the mould overnight to completely set!

Now we are going to make the retro rose!

1. You will need:

orange clay
pale brown clay
white clay
green clay
brown clay
and a rolling pin

2. Roll out your white clay, then roughly cut into a rectangle.

3. Do the same with your other colours then lay them onto of each other.

4. Cut from one corner to the other, then match up the two shortest edges.

5. Roll in the palm of your hand so that the colours swirl but you still have the stripy pattern, then press into your mould.

6. Carefully remove from the mould and poke out a small hole in the top of your rose to make it into a pendant, if you aren't making it into a pendant you can bake the clay in the mould.

Now you have a stylish retro rose!
