These polystyrene buds, also known as flower cones or polystyrene rose cones are fantastic for making sugar flowers. No more having to wait for your own gum paste centres to harden! Just hot glue these onto wire and you are good to go.
They come in 5 sizes and are perfect for your next flower making session!
16mm (Pack of 12)
20mm (Pack of 10)
24mm (Pack of 6)
30mm (Pack of 6)
35mm (Pack of 4)
The sizes refer to the width of the flower bud, not the length.
Directions:
Feed a suitable gauge wire through the bud to support your flower through the hole. Bend and then twist to secure the bud onto the wire. A pair of pliers may be required to achieve a tight fit. A hot glue gun may also be used to secure wires.
Carefully hold the polystyrene bud and rotate whilst supporting and applying pressure to attach flower petals. Use a small amount of gum paste between each petal and layer to achieve your desired effect.
