Basic Filler Flowers & Small Daisies



Quite often, the methods used for making air-dry clay flowers are exactly the same as making sugar paste flowers ....with one exception! You can use glue and other non-edible materials with air-dry clay flowers. In this video, Elaine MacGregor demonstrates 2 different kinds of simple flowers to make....a 5 petal flower and a daisy-type flower.

Where she mentions using gum arabic to glue sugar paste together, just use white glue instead. (Elmer's or Aleene's will do nicely!) Note how she uses a glass to protect her paste from drying out! Good idea for clay too!

Remember! Air-dry clay and gumpaste techniques are almost the same
and tutorials can work for both!
