  Step 1

  Get together the colours you want to use. Make sure that the colour you are using is soft and pliable. This can be done by hand.

  The white bit is the cardboard. I used a piece that was about 1mm thick.

  Step 2

  Fold the cardboard in half and trim the base so both edges are the same.

  Pick your colour and roll into a ball. Then flatten slightly. My flatten ball is about 10mm across

• 

  Step 3

  Using the cardboard like tweezers, pinch a little chunch of the clay, going around the circle.

  Try to squeese the same amount of clay for each pedal. This can be a bit tricky.

• 

  Step 4

  I added a little yellow in the middle.

  The above example shows a 5 petals, however, I have done 7 and 5 petal flowers.

  I found 6 and 5 petals to be the easiest. 7 was a bit tricky.

• 

  Step 5

  Bake according to the clay's instructions. Because these are so small, I halved the baking time then turned off the oven and let it all cool gradually. (I don't know if this is correct, but it felt right at the time.)

• 

  Step 6

  Once cooled, glue the flower to the earring backing and let dry.

  For drying: I found it was best to dry these so they were vertical. So I put some extra clay down as a base, put in the earring, added glue and put the flower on top. (I tried to glue them and just set them down but the flower started to slide and it wasn't centred.)

  Step 7

  All finished!
