Just wondering what's the best way to get your filler (grass, tissue,ect. ) to stay in the container. Do you use a spray adhesive and if so what kind?Does anyone have any suggestions. I made my first bouquet yesterday and used tissue and kind of tucked it in here and there but wasn't real happy with the look. Thanks again to all you out there. Couldn't do this without all of you.
you can attach it to a flower pick then stab it into the foam or whatever else th ecookies are being held up with
Slimkim your cookie bouquet is incredible!! I usually wrap the tissue around the cookie stick a bit then stick it into the foam. Keeps it in place, helps keep the cookie stick from moving around then you can arrange the tissue paper as you like.
on my 50's theme bouquet I add hot glue around the stick then reinserted it into the styrofoam. I cut 2x2 tissue sheets, centered it on a pencil (eraser end) touched it with hot glue then placed it around the cookie stick. Just like making a Piñata. It worked wonderfully. The cookies never moved. I used same method but with larger tissue sheets (not as many) for the Bee bouquet. It seems to hold the cookies into place better.
Tyty,
I use tissue paper, or mylar tissue. Cut them into squares, gather them like you would a handkerchief, and use wired floral picks to keep the little tuft of tissue gathered, and insert the picks in between cookie sticks after you have arranged them all in their proper space. For the taller cookies in the back, I use a larger rectangular piece instead of the small squares. This gives you a really uniform crisp look, instead of tucking in here or there. I too also use grass to cover the floral foam. Check out my photos, I have a bunch of cookie bouquets in there. The easter ones have alot of tissue visible, and the red, blue, and yellow graduation bouquet I used mylar. See whatcha think.
I use the colored, shredded paper (grass-like paper). When I package it, I just take some plastic wrap and wrap from the bottom of the pot/planter to a little over the cookie sticks. This makes sure that nothing falls out.
