Simple Rose studs\dangles

In this post, I'm going  to show you how to make simple rose studs/dangles. I personally think that the studs look better than the dangles, but that's just my opinion. These are relatively easy if you have a lot of scraps of clay of the same size and color


This is the beginning of part 1: the studs 

Here's what you'll need:

one pair of scissors,
two studs and/or dangle hooks,
 one spool of wire,
and a ball of clay.

To start with, you are going  to take a small ball of clay...

... and squish it down to create a long, rounded shape.
Then, curl it into a nice spiral, like the middle of a rose.

Now take another ball, slightly smaller than the first,

and flatten it, but this time smaller and rounder than the first one.

                            You are going to make five of these petals.

Take the spiral and press the petals to it.
Put  two on and put one over the small crack in between the two. Repeat these steps until you have used
 all your petals.
If you want more petals, try to make them a little longer than the others.

 

It should look a bit like this.

Now cut about a centimeter of the back of the rose.

Now you are done.Which is better? Studs or dangles?

This is the beginning of part 2: The Dangles

First, follow the first 9 steps to make a rose without the studs.
Next, cut a piece of wire and twist it through the  loop of the dangle
hook and push it down to create a loop.

It should look like this.

Push the loop into the rose. It should look like this.

Now bake and wear.
 These rosy delights make spectacular party favors, or just something to make friends jealous.
Either way, they're adorabull, whether it's studs or dangles, and don't forget to vote in the comments below;)
