Clay flowers and buttons

Raided the old man's shed to make boy embellies! I've had a few requests for a tutrorial, here goes:

I don't have a photo tute, BUT they are easy and I can describe them:

You need: nuts/screws/nails/washers and clay (the kind you bake to harden)

*Form a small chunk of clay into a ball about nickel size..

*Flatten this with palm of your hand until you have a circle that is about 1/4" thick..

*Stick screws or nails into the sides to make "petals". Push them in deep enough so they feel snug..

*Press a nut/washer onto the top, so it stays.

*Roll another ball of clay into a long, thin coil.

*Wrap it around the center. Press it together so everything is sticking/staying in one piece.

*Bake @275 degrees for thirty or so minutes to set.

That is it! The buttons are just wrapped coils and I used a nail to stick holes in them.
