How to Make a Clay Flower Mirror
Step 1: Shape the Clay Petals
Take a piece of clay and roll it into a smooth ball. Using a clay sculpting tool, press three lines along the bottom so they meet at a point, similar to a crow’s feet, as shown in the video. Repeat this step to create five equal-sized pieces—these will form the petals of your flower.Step 2: Assemble the Clay Flower
Arrange the clay pieces to form a flower shape. Roll a small piece of white clay and place it in the center to complete the flower. Create several more flowers using different colors, and vary the sizes if you like.Step 3: Arrange and Attach the Clay Flowers
Let the clay flowers set until they are no longer soft or sticky to the touch. Once firm, plan your layout by arranging them around the mirror frame. When you’re happy with the placement, apply hot glue to the back of each flower and attach them securely to the frame.
