  Step 1

  Start by forming a ball of olive-green clay.

• 

  Step 2

  Using the side of a pointed detail tool or a sewing pin, make 6 evenly spaced vertical lines in the ball.

• 

  Step 3

  Paint 7 white dots down
  each section of the cactus.
  Start by making a large
  dot in the center. Continue
  on either side, making the
  dots smaller as you reach
  the ends of each section.

• 

  Step 4

  While the paint dries, prepare a small ball of pink clay.

• 

  Step 5

  Separate the pink clay into 11 tiny balls. Create a flower petal by flattening and pinching both ends of the pink clay. Repeat until you’ve formed 11 petals.

• 

  Step 6

  Arrange 6 petals together in a circle.

• 

  Step 7

  Create a second row of petals by arranging the remaining 5 petals between the first 6.

• 

  Step 8

  Gently place the flower on top of the cactus.

• 

  Step 9

  Fill the miniature pot with beige clay.

• 

  Step 10

  Place the cactus on top of the pot. Bake your piece in the oven according to the directions on the package of polymer clay.

  Note: Polymer clay is baked at such a low temperature that the heat won’t affect the paint or the clay pot.
