Sponge mechanic for a tiny flower stem
- 19 April 2017
- and more
Cut a X shape in a small sponge
Just a little bigger than the size of the flower stem
Fit the sponge in a small container. This is where you are going to add the water
Place a bamboo skewer in the sponge as a place holder for the stem
Glue bamboo leaves to the sponge. Make sure there is an overlap of the leaves so that the foliage adheres to foliage and not just to the sponge.
Radiate the leaves out from the bamboo to the edge.
Smooth the leaves down
Turn the sponge around
And glue the leaves to the bottom
Fill the small container with water
Place the sponge on the container and let it soak up the water. Insert the flower in the X once the sponge is heavy.
