My Creative Workbook

Christine de Beer - effortless floral craftsman

Bending blades of grass to shadow over a design

See the Tutorials below for more detailed instructions on how to manipulate twigs and grass

Cut a few fresh blades of grass

Bend the grass at a sharp angle without breaking it

You are going to cushion the blade of grass with the pad of your finger

Bring your finger to your nail to pinch the blade of grass

If you find that you press too hard use your weaker ring finder as a pad so that the blade of grass is not cut nor broken

A neat bend in the grass

Bend the other end in the same way

And insert both ends to shadow over the design
