Hi!
I’d say mine is about 8 inches square. And the clay came in a package of 2.2 lbs (1kg). But I’m pretty sure I didn’t use the whole thing. The flower is fairly heavy though. And the bigger you make it the longer it will take to dry. We moved in the middle of making this so mine dried for over a week. And you won’t want to try to glue it to the wood until it’s 100% dry or it will probably fall off or fall apart. I haven’t tried it but I wonder if maybe some of that light weight modeling clay you can find might be better for you? Maybe do a trial run with some of that? Let me know how it goes! Cassie

Oh gosh, I wish I had the time Linda! Thank you so mush for the compliments!

Thanks.

Mine stuck to themselves with a little smoothing and some water. But it probably depends on the brand of clay you’re using. If it doesn’t have any instructions, I would do a little experiment. Also, I can’t remember if I said in the post, but this took a LONG time to fully dry because it gets so thick in the middle. If you’re in a time crunch, you’re right, you could make all the petals separately, let them dry and then glue them together.

Thanks.

Thanks, Cassie May! I’ll try just ‘winging’ it and see what happens! I’ll keep you posted.

Sorry Linda, this is as detailed as I’ve got. The petals are really just wide on one end and pointy at the other, it doesn’t have to be perfect and it’s a very forgiving project. It’ll still look cool even if you don’t do it exactly the same way I did. good luck 🙂

Thanks so much.

Thanks Ashley, yes, I was really pleasantly surprised by the clay. I’ve used other kinds before that were hard to work with or smelled weird, this one was just right!

Thanks Kelly!!

Aw, thanks Bre!!
