Flower Quick Fix

March 16th, 2010 @ 1:33 pm by Mrs. Nachos

I thought about your suggestions to weigh them down with the crystals, but I decided to use floral wire to make the stems a little more bendy. It was an inexpensive fix and it worked like magic. I just looped the wire around one stem and used it to attach another.

Bendy!

*pssssst* Hey, do you see the color on my thumbnail? Yep, right there, just above… I think that’s the color I’ll be picking for my tootsies when my feet get deflowered on Saturday! In less than a week, I will be a pedi-virgin no more.
