The key to making a few designs in a short amount of time is preparation. Once you have prepared all the individual bits it is easy to assemble the designs.
line up the stir stick bracelets (see Tutorial below) by slipping it over polystyrene so that it is secure and stands upright, making it easy to design without it rolling or falling over
Cut all the floral material you need. Place them in tiny little heaps to make it easy to pick up and add to the design
I wanted my flowers to be fairly close to the bracelet so that it is rather robust. For this I am cutting the entire stem away and gluing the flowers to the bracelet. If you want to wire the plant material, wire and wrap all of it so that everything is ready to assemble.
Glue all the bits and pieces onto all the designs at the same time. You can make them identical or create a new placement for each design
Curl and glue in the wire to finish off. Detail all the designs
