Do you use tissue paper in your bouquet to hide the styrofoam? What are some other options? I have trouble keeping tissue paper from looking crumpled.

I just use shred on top of the foam. I don't use tissue paper. I don't like the way it looks.

I either use iridescent grass or candy. For the Christmas bouquets in my pictures I used star brite peppermint candies.

We fold ours somewhat like a fan (kinda.....hard to describe) and we push the stick thru the paper, into the styrofoam. We found this hid the styrofoam much better than trying to put the paper around the cookies after they were all in. We may have to add a piece here and there when we're done to cover a small bare spot.....

I've always used candies to hide the styrofoam. (Mostly the peppermint discs, or butterscotch discs. I like that they are wrapped.) I think I'll have to try some shred for my next ones, though. I like the look of that.
