Special polymer clay for sculpting flowers (eg Thai polymer clay) is used to make realistic (like real ones) flowers. Very famous and popular polymer clay for flowers is clay made in Japan by Modena Clay. Special polymer clay for sculpting flowers dries out on its own in the air and differs in that it is possible to sculpt very thin petals and leaves from it.

From baked polymer clay you can also make a variety of flowers, but these flowers will not look so natural, but will be just very beautiful. Exactly flowers from baked polymer clay are used for jewelry and decor, for example, Hairbands, cups and vases, since exactly baked polymer clay is not afraid of water and it is very strong after baking. This page of our website is constantly updated and added with new ideas and lessons on flower modeling.

Polymer clay flower of cornflower.

1.Take blue polymer clay. We roll out a thin layer of polymer clay, cut out a circle. We cut the circle with a blade into 4 parts. We get the petals, make a jagged edge on each petal, this is also done with a blade. We twist the petals in a tube, as shown on the photo.

3. Take a piece of the same blue polymer clay, and a piece of white polymer clay. Mix them together to get a lighter tone of blue. Roll out and cut out a circle, a bit smaller than the first. Sculpt from blue clay the same petals of the tube. We put them in the middle of the cornflower flower. As shown on the photo.

Anemone leaf or white and red currant leaf made from polymer clay

In order to make the leaf as realistic as possible, we take a special clay used for sculpting flowers and leaves. This clay dries on its own in the air. Japanese “Modena Clay” clay is one of the most high-quality and most popular polymer clay for modeling flowers.
Also, for sculpting realistic leaves and a petals we can use our transparent polymer clay, which recipe is posted on our website here. It is necessary to add oil paint in this polymer  clay, the same as in Japanese, and mix it well to let future leaves and petals get suitable color.

For sculpting of this leaf, we will need a double-sided silicone mold “Anemone leaf” (size is in the photo 18). A piece of clay that is painted with grassy green oil paint. We paint with a small amount of it, mixing the paint into the clay, add quite a bit of paint to get a light shade. During working with such types of polymer clay, when you paint – do not forget that the polymer clay will dry out and become translucent or transparent and the color will become brighter.

1. Take a double-sided silicone mold (consists of 2 parts) of a suitable texture.

2. Roll out a small piece of light green polymer clay with a rolling pin.

3. We put a piece on one part of the mold.

4. Cover with the second part of the mold on the top. And press down the two parts hardly, especially at the edges.

5 -6. We hold the two parts very well with one hand, and with the other hand we tear off the excess polymer clay that sticks out of the mold.

Polymer clay Poppy flower

This video shows a tutorial on modeling a realistic poppy flower from polymer clay. The petals and structure of the flower are absolutely the same as in nature. The only difference is that the poppy box is not sculpted, but a crystal bead is taken since the poppy is molded decoratively for making a brooch. And the stamens are dipped not in black, but in transparent microbeads, for greater decorativeness. The poppy is obtained so transparently because it is not molded from ordinary polymer clay for sculpting flowers, but from transparent clay, the recipe for which we have on our website. Poppy is tinted with metallic pigments. And when sculpting a realistic poppy flower, it would be necessary to tint with dry art pastels. As shown in one of the previous videos on this page, namely in the tutorial on sculpting realistic double sakura flowers.
