How to make a clay flower mirror
-
Step 1: Shape the clay petals
Take a piece of clay and roll it into a smooth ball. Using the clay sculpting tool, press the three lines on the bottom so they meet at a point, like a crow’s foot, as shown in the video. Repeat these steps to make five pieces of the same size – these will make the petals of your flower. -
Step 2: Assemble the clay flower
Arrange the pieces of clay to form a flower shape. Roll a small piece of white clay and place it in the center to complete the flower. Make many more flowers using different colors and change the size if you like. -
Step 3: Arrange and attach the clay flowers
Allow the clay flowers to set until they are soft or sticky to the touch. Once firmed up, plan your layout around the mirror frame. When you’re happy with the placement, apply hot glue to the back of each flower and attach it securely to the frame.

💡 for the tip
If you want your clay flowers to last longer, coat them with a layer of gloss varnish to help prevent cracking or breaking over time and give them a smooth, finished look.
