How Could I make the stem? Or something like a calix to this flower???? :)
ReplyDeleteWe have used Chennile stems for this flower. Read step 20 and 21. If you do not have chennile stem you can use a thick floral wire and wrap floral tape around it. Make sure it is thick enough for the hole. To make it more sturdy you can cut a calyx with paper,( a general five pointed calyx should do) and glue after inserting the stem.
ReplyDeleteVery nice flower.
