Hi
I am making 3 Call Lillies and want to know the best way to do the stems, I would like a thick stem as opposed to the thin wire - lillies will be on top of the cake, the stems tied with a ribbon.
I have followed tutorials and I am fairly happy with the flowers I make, but...................
I'm having numerous problems,
Base of lily keeps crumbling.
How do you get a neat looking base of flower, where flower joins stem
How do i get thick stems - tried kitchen towel around wire, it keeps falling off
Florists tape doesn't seem to stick
This is driving me to despair, please help!
Much appreciated
Tape multiple wires together - the thickest you can get.
A straw covered in florists tape. The wire from the flower can be inside it. I have never tried this but it might work.
I agree - the first thing I thought of was "use a drinking straw".
depending on the size you have made your calla lily you could attach the wire to a 1/4" thick dowel to create the stems, wrapping in floral tape.
