Hints
and Ideas:
Here's some tips. If decorating, don't decorate the fingers. It
makes curling them up next-to-impossible. For a more stem-like appearance
pre-wrap the straws in floral tape and staple on leaves. For parents
who want to keep this on display in their home, use some floral
foam in the bottom of the container and stick the straws right into
it. It makes a prettier arrangement.
I
hope you have fun with this craft and let me know how it turns out.
If you're having any trouble with it, let
me know and I'll be glad to help you.
