   ok wow these are hard. This is my ninth flower of yours I’ve made, and this one will not be on repeat lol. Mine looks like a flower you’d put on a wwedding car lol. Remember those??Out of tissues? Oh boy. Flower fail.

      Oh no! Well, the good news is that I have a brand new ranunculus coming this summer with the new master class. I think you will like that version. Much easier and just as pretty (maybe prettier). 🙂

      Hello Emily! Share photos when you are done! Yes, you can access the videos during your membership, and once you download the project, you can continue to access it even after the counter restarts.

   Hi, Can I use a 12 mm cotton spun ball or does it need to be a wooden ball?

      Yes! The spun ball is a good alternative. I added it to the list.

   Hello Lia,

   First sorry for my bad english. I’d like to know if you will add later photo tutorial. I sometimes don’t understand every explanation in the video (particularly in this one how to rotate correctly the petals) and the photo tutorial is a good help for me, cause I can magnify the image.
   Thanks a lot

      We do the photo tutorial as often as we can but unfortunately, this one did not get that extra step.

      @Felicia

      We’ve used Krylon’s UV-Resistant Clear spray that helps with fading.

   can you cut crepe paper with a cutting machine?

      @Rebecca

      You need a Cricut Maker or Silhouette Cameo 4 — these are the only two machines that cut crepe. We have a video on this if you are considering getting a cutting machine: https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/11-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-cutting-machine/.

      Only the Cricut Maker and Silhouette Cameo 4 will cut crepe paper. Check out our video with more info: https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/cutting-machines-for-crepe-paper/

      Currently with USPS it is supposed to take 6-10 working days, but due to COVID it can be significantly delayed. Unfortunately, it only tracks until it leaves the USA and then there is no tracking. We are working on switching to UPS which should be better on both these fronts. Our Material Sources page has some local options (https://liagriffith.com/source-list/)!

   I’m really struggling with the underneath of the flower. It always looks like a big mess. How do you keep it so unified? If I am trying not to use the stem, it bulks up so much.

      @Laurie

      Hi Lorie,

      Be sure that you rotate the petals around and that each is a similar distance, do not glue the petals on to the stem but onto each other and use a very small amount of glue.

       Hi Anne,

       We just made some basic leaves to add to this bouquet, they are the same seen in this peony arrangement and can be found in the template.

    Hello,
    I recently just renewed my membership, with a large reason to be able to download the SVG file of this flower. While I have no problem with the PDF, when I try to download/open the SVG I get an error on my screen saying “Operation couldn’t be completed. Operation not permitted”. Have you heard of anyone else experiencing this issue? &, is there another way I could gain access to the SVG file? Any help would be appreciated, I love your flowers! -Nat
