A Polymer Clay Tutorial: Big Flower Pins

Hello, Peeps!
I forgot to write a description. Actually, I thought I had but I did not sooo...
Welcome to my channel, studio and this tutorial on making Big Flower Pins. They're perfect for Spring and Summer, I think. I hope you think so, too.
Now, I had this question so I shall answer it here/ Here's the link to the cutter set that contains that nice cutter I use (like a slim almond shape with the ends chopped off) - all the sets don't seem to have it so, here it is:
56 Piece Leather Cutter Set: amzn.to/4aXZlXX
Hope you enjoy the class, please Like and Sunscribe! I reply only to subscribers so if you have questions, you need to do that, okay? It's a time thing for me, I spend most of my time creating tutorials, then move on to answering comments!
Hugs, D
