I made a miniature version of an orange because I thought it would be cool to try and replicate the tiny dimples.

You will need a decent amount of orange clay, a little bit of green clay, clay tools, and good attitude!

Roll the Orange Clay Into a Ball

Grab a golf ball size amount of orange clay and start rolling it in your hands or on a table. When it is done it should look something like this.

Make the Dimples

Get your clay tools and start lightly poking the orange. Doing this will get those dimples that are on real oranges.

Shape the Stem With Green Clay

For this step you will need to get the green clay and the tools. You should get a fingers length of clay if it comes in strips. First you should shape the clay into a rectangle and and start cutting it until you get the round leaf shape you want.

Make a Hole for the Stem

Cut a little hole in the top of the orange so that it is easier to keep the stem from falling.
