Is there a place that has a how to make gumpaste flowers or if you can give a name of a good book that gives detailed instructions on how to make flowers would be greatly appreciated.

JasonL,

Wilton produces a 30-piece gum paste flower making set that includes a book with great pictures and detailed instructions. It also comes with all the cutters and basic tools you'll need.

CC usually carries it, but they are out of stock. You might try your local craft supply store, such as Michael's, or even JoAnn' Fabrics. I've seen the set at both places.

HTH, and good luck with your flowers!

Michael's sells the gumpaste flower kit. It has assorted cutters and instructions. I have it and it is pretty basic. It would probably be a good basic kit to learn with. I used a 40 % off coupon and got it for 12.00.

There are also some wonderful DVD's out there... Nicholas Lodge has one the best... I have his and have learned so much from it icon_smile.gif

Thank you so much I think I will get the kit to start with. Are the DVD's reasonable in price. I have heard that some of them can be a little pricey
