I love it Kelly! It’s mother’s day soon here, so I’m going to try and make some for my Mum, she’s coming over to Dublin this weekend. Thanks for my special beginners blog!! xx
I made these for my 5 year old’s Bedouin birthday party… got other mums helping me then put them in a wee bowl on the food table. They were nearly all taken home by various kids.
Thank you
I love these things! I’ve made an arrangement of my own and it looks quite good!
How do you secure them? Do you use glue or tape around the edges or the base? And are they just perched on the sticks in the arrangement?
Lindsay, In this example the sticks are just slid through the center of the flower, but I think you could probably hot glue them if you wanted to make them more secure.
Wow! Nice tutorial. Just now found it on StumbleUpon. Cool site too! Thanks for the post.
