| Here is a link to a tutorial. They seem very very labor intensive. No wonder they are so expensive! Seems like there has to be an easier way! Kathy |

| They had show on TV about them. Mostly you ask relatives to give you pieces of jewelry & then the company makes them up so they are expensive & if you don't have right jewelry wouldn't look right. I made a foam cone xmas tree last year after seeing one on here. I used old jewelry & old buttons & used wire to make U shaped wire to go through the shanks so I didn't use glue so could remove them if I wanted to. I think they would be better if you could remove them as you might "love Aunt Sue's pin" They are mostly made to carry as your bridal bouquet! Jan |

| Oh wow they really are beautiful and look fun to have, but yes - labor intensive to make. How neat for a wedding, though. |
