Finished!


Here are the completed calla lilies. To be honest, the finishing was not a lot of fun, maybe worse than weaving in ends. First of all, the threading of the florist wire through the stems was pretty hard. On the next set of flowers I will use a half inch ribbon instead of a quarter inch ribbon. Or maybe even some cording. That should improve that threading process a lot. (They should have given a specific recommendation about that). Then the sewing of the wire into the flowers and leaves was challenging too. But I really like the outcome. By the time I've done two more kits (6 or 7 more flowers and 4 or 5 more leaves) I'll be an expert and it will probably be a breeze.
