| Step1: WIRING TECHNIQUES There
are two basic wiring techniques used to wire the flowers and foliages in this project
Pierce: Flowers that have a prominent calyx at the
base should be wired using the pierce method. The calyx is the bulb-like part of the stem
just below the flower. Flowers such as Roses and Carnations are perfect to pierce. To
pierce wire, take a 22 gauge wire and feed it through the calyx half way. Then bend down.
Flowers with heavier heads need to be cross-pierced using two wires. Pierce one direction
as before and then add another wire the opposite direction crossing through the calyx
again. |
