instructions
  1. Compact - 1.Roll a piece of rose clay into a 5mm rod. Wrap the rod with a thick layer of lilac. Roll another piece of rose into a 5mm rod and wrap with a thick layer of aqua. Cut into six pieces and form petals around the rose and lilac core. Roll six rods of translucent white to 5mm, place between the petals and wrap the flower in a thick layer of aqua. Roll the flower gently to fuse the clay and make the flowers smaller to suit. When the flowers are the correct size, cut off thin slices and place them onto a sheet of thinly rolled out aqua.

    2. Gently rub over the flowers with a thin piece of paper to fuse the rods together without distorting the design. Using an object that is the same size as the top of the compact as a guide, cut around the clay with a scalpel and place the design onto a compact lid. Gently rub over the clay with a piece of paper so the clay fits the lid and to smooth away any marks. Bake the clay according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

  2. Make it yours - To create a matching bracelet, use the leftover flower cane from the necklace tutorial, fit into oval bezels and secure together using jump rings.
