Doing It Yourself: Clay Roses

I always want to craft with clay, but baking it is always makes such a huge mess. I did some research and found you can microwave it! Make little clay shapes, (with any kind that will bake.) put them in a microwave safe bowl with enough water to cover the clay, microwave for five minutes, then pour the water out carefully, and you are done! You can microwave any shape with a toothpick through it to make little beads. Or make roses like I did and make a ring out of it. And the best part? No mess!
If you do it, please comment and post pics!

P.S.
I will post a video later on how to make clay roses like the one pictured above. :)
