Might have to put a wet paint sign on them

Okay... my flower arranging has something to be desired....some more glass beads would have helped hold them in place better aswell. But still, she can arrange them how she wants.

I may well do at some point Jim.

Basically, though, use a few pairs or pliers to crimp, bend, and shape the petals, then screw down through the middle into the stem. A goingover with a blow torch helps get rid of any very sharp bits. Then paint.
