Do you think it would work to create this without the stem and just glue the petals around the egg? I’m just thinking about how I would display it and I don’t know if I want it in a vase or sitting in a bowl.
Sure you can do that! The waterlily is the one that sits on the water, where the lotus stands on a stem. But for an arrangement you can make them stemless.
Do you have any suggestions on how I could make a bud to go with this flower. Maybe some other flower patterns might work? Thank you.
We do not have any other flowers with similar buds to a lotus, however you could used the smaller lotus petals glued around and covering a 20mm or 30mm spun ball on a thick stem wire to achieve the bud shape.
Thanks Lia!😁👍🏼
Hi Lia,
Can I use a 20mm ball instead of an egg?
Thanks,
Laura
