Play-Doh Rose

Roses come in all kinds--but how about a Play-Doh rose? My favorite thing to create with Play-Doh is roses! They are quick and easy to make, and the result is magnificent! I used some red Play-Doh I had lying around for my first rose, and it is so bright it pops in my room! So grab a jar of Play-Doh and get to work!

Materials:

• Small jar of Play-Doh (pick your color wisely! pun intended.)
• Pipe cleaner or some sort of plastic flower stem from the craft store (mine I kept from a Dove chocolate rose)

Dump the dough out of the container, and pound it flat with your hands in a clapping motion.

Roll the dough up, making sure one side is uneven to create the rose effect.

Pinch the dough right below where you think the rose should end. Smooth the bottom out into the rose shape.

If you want, you can stick your rose onto a pipe cleaner or a plastic stem of some sort as I did. If you don't have one, it looks just as nice without one! Let the dough harden, then set the rose out in a vase!
