Open the flower by gently pressing down the corners of petals. Place a 3mm diameter brown clay ball at the center. Use the metal tips of clay scissors to pin the center twice as a cross. Let it dry and paint with acrylic.
    2. Making pedicel of Gypsophila
    Roll a 9mm long teardrop from a 4mm diameter dark green clay ball. Cut the pointed end into 5 calyces (3mm long each) by clay scissors and flatten them by Mallet. Lengthen the blunt end to about 2mm diameter by your fingers.
    Cut away excess pedicel (blunt end) by clay scissors. Insert a 100mm long wire (#20) into the blunt end with glue and secure it with your fingers. Stick the white flower onto it and let it dry.

    Place a 4mm brown clay ball at the center and make honeycomb pattern by toothpick. Paint it with any color you like after it is dry

Insert a 100mm (#20) wire into the pedicel with glue and secure it with your fingers at the junction. Let it dry.
