Materials needed:
1. Air dry clay 2. Cutters 3. Veiners 4. Oil colous 5. Frill tool 6.Cotton bud 7.Glue 8. Ponds cold creme or Vaseline.
Mix a small amount of clay with bit of white oil colour
and the colour of your choice. In the tutorial, I used Winsor&Newton oil
colour No.4 (cadmium orange hue) .
Apply some cream onto the plastic sheet, keep the clay in between two sheets and roll
on number three position in the pasta machine. (In your pasta machine, if number 1 position is the thinnest, then
roll the clay in number 3 . If number 9 is the thinnest, then roll the clay in number 7 and vice versa).
I personally think that a step-by-step tutorial with illustrations of how to make the carnation flower is enough to understand the method.
After frilling, make the cone as shown in the picture when it is semi-dry.
The carnation cutter five piece set costs Rs. 250 and the veiner (the veiner is only available in blue colour) costs Rs. 140. If you are interested in buying any of these items, please contact me at
