Rose Hair Snaps
Our thanks for this craft to Twila Lenoir

What you will need:

Large sewing snaps
Any kind of oven baked clay(I used sculpey)

Ready:

Take tiny pieces of clay and roll into a ball, press flat with your thumb and pointer finger and roll into a cone shape. Take another tiny piece of clay, roll into a ball and flatten and place it infront of the cone where the two ends meet on your cone shape. Continue makeing tiny balls and make them flat and go around the cone shape over lapping the ends alittle on each petal. Until you have the amount of petals and fullness you want.You can bend the petals a little. With each petal you add, roll into the bottom of your rose, you'll have some excess clay, remove and set the excess aside. (Note from Sunni 2008: if you are a visual learner, go HERE to see how the rose is assembled.)

Take a tiny piece of green clay and roll into a ball and flatten, and put it on your petal and roll into the bottom of your rose and take it off so your flower and leaves bottom is flat. You can curl the leaves a little to form the leave.

Open your sewing snap and take the flat side of your snap and take the excess clay your set aside and roll into a ball. It will look varigated with the geen and the color of your flower, and press flat on a work surface and press your flat side snap into the clay, and shape around the snap. Take off any excess and save for another project. Also on the other side of the snap, take off any excess that are coming out of the holes. Take your rose and place it on your snap with the clay on it, and take a tooth pick or some thing with a point and press the bottom of the rose and sides into the snap with clay.

Bake as directed.

I made these for my daughter and she loved them, now her friends want me to make some for them.

Enjoy !
