made from cotton buds, straws and clay! A cute way to decorate a windowsill
without the worry of seed control :) and perfect for doodling away a sunday
afternoon.

A terracotta pot makes a nice display container
- squish a little clay into the bottom to hold them in place.

Making your dandelion
seed clocks
Prepare the dandelion's stalk by cutting away the bendy part
of a drinking straw - if it has one! this section can be used later
as a leaf if wanted.
Next roll a 15g ball of clay, or so that it measures about 2cm
across the front and roll
in the iridescent glitter or if using brown clay in lettuce
seeds. Gently push the now sparkly clay ball ontop the drinking straw.
Snip a number of cotton buds in half or to your own desired
length and begin inserting them into the clay..
Once happy with the seed head's shape, make a leaf out of the discarded
bendy straw section, sticky tape it to the lower side of the dandelion stalk,
bending it downwards/outwards then cutting inside the length and shaping
the end.
Finish by displaying in a pot or in a another blob of airdry clay.
