Tuesday Tip: Spiral Stem Flowers

by Steph

Hello everyone. I hope the week has started off well. To kick start our Tuesday we have Toni Crane from our Contributing Design Team showing us how to make Spiral Stem Flowers.

Toni Says:
“With the release of the Kaisercraft Mini Blooms, I thought it would be a good idea to share with you how easy it is to make the little spirals for the flowers with the wire stems, rather than cutting them off.

You will need: A packet of Kaisercraft Mini Blooms and a pair of needle nose pliers. I use a pair of curved ones but a straight pair will work perfect as well.

Grip the end of the wire stem at the tip of the pliers, then wind the wire around the pliers to the bottom of the flower, keeping the spiral tight together.

Ease the flower off the pliers and gently tease the spirals apart, pulling it to one side of the flower so the wire lies flat on the bottom of the flower.

Team these gorgeous flowers with other embellishments from Kaisercraft to add the right touch for your next project.

I use a cake skewer too but the pliers would be so much better!!!! Thanks. I wondered how to do these easier.
