This decoration can make simple vases look a little bit retro. To make the flower decorations, you need self-drying modeling clay, paint, brushes, glue, glue gun, vase, and knife. Use your favorite flower and use the clay to make it. Start by making the petals and then move to make the single inner petal. Prop your flowers against the glass and leave them overnight to dry. After that, you can paint the flower in any color you want and then leave it again to dry. When the colors are all dried, put on some glue in the back and hold the flower on the vase to glue it better.
