author unknown

1/2 cup flour

1 tablespoon salt

3 tablespoon water

3 cups freshly chopped flower petals of herbs

Directions:

Mix flour, salt and water together in a small bowl until it forms a firm dough. Knead in flowers or herbs.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Now you are ready to create! Let finished pieces air dry for 2-3 days or until completely hard. After the piece is dry you can apply a layer of shellac to preserve it and add luster.

With your clay you can create beautiful beads in many shapes and sizes. Use a toothpick to poke a hole while still wet. After the beads are dry, you can string them to make unique bracelets, necklaces, tree garlands and room dividers.
