Polymer Clay Buttons - DIY from Peony and Parakeet

Thanks, Lindsay! Yes, I just softened the clay in my hands, then rolled it and bunched it and baked! I used knitting needle for the holes. Not complicated at all! For rolling you can use any round tube or pasta machine. I have pasta machine and I use it quite often when working with polymer clay.
