instructions
1. Using a 3/4-in. diameter ball of modeling clay, mold a cone that's
approximately 1 1/2 in. high.
Next, flatten a 3/8-in. ball of modeling candy
into a circular petal that's about 1/4 in. thick on one side and about
the diameter of a dime.
Make several petals this size.
2. Wrap first petal around the point of the cone to form a bud. Now press
three more petals around the base of the bud.
As you form petals, you gently
roll top edges back.
3. Make five more petals using slightly larger balls of modeling clay.
Flatten,
then thin edge with finger and cup petals.
Press petal under first rows
of petals. Continue adding petals, placing them in between slightly lower
than previous row.
For a fuller flower, continue adding petals in this manner.
