Step 1

Empty your Flower Soft into a bigger dish and fluff it up so that it can be sprinkled. Cut your wires into 2 inch lengths and cover the end with Flower Soft glue. Whilst the glue is still wet sprinkle your Flower Soft over the glued areas. Rotate your wires so that it is generously covered.

Step 2

Gently tap off excess. Place your completed flower stems in sponge or plastercine to dry for approx. 20 mins. Repeat to make enough stems for your bouquet (5-7 stems should be enough). Carefully cut out your chosen lace bouquet template and mount.

Step 3

To make a neater cone gently score along the solid line to create a tab. This can be done by running a craft knife or scribe along the edge of a ruler. Fold the tab back and wrap the template around the end of your finger into a cone shape.

Step 4

Dab a bit of glue at the back to secure. Gather together your stems and hold in a tiered display. Cut the bottom of the bunch so that the end is roughly the same level, now dab some glue around the bottom and place inside the cone. Allow drying.

Step 5

Decorate your mini bouquet with silk ribbon (2mm silk works best for tiny bows) and you're ready to embellish your card/scrap page or craft project. Finally glue onto your co-ordinating mount. See our website for more projects and examples.
