Separate out two tennis ball-sized pieces of the white and terracotta clay.

Twist the white and the terracotta clay together slowly, making sure your twist is equal along the length of the clay.

Cut into the length you’d like your candy stick to be, then bend the top round into a curve.

Using a straw, pierce a hole through the clay to thread your ribbon through.

Leave to dry for 24 hours.

Add leaf shapes, working along the line and then repeat the motif in the bottom right hand side of the bauble so they are mirroring each other.
