💕

I'm so happy to hear this, thank you!

working on a hydrangea tutorial

@@craftedstudioco Yes, indeed!

What kind of cake icing would you work on... Fondant, buttercream, or such? I have some suggestions as I am a cookie artist that specifically niches in edible painting ...

They have the ridges :) Maybe the camera isn't picking that up, or possibly i had already cut them off 🤔 I would need to go back and look but i most often use cone-shaped filters (with ridges) in no.2/no.4 ...i also use basket filters sometimes.

The glue in the colouring process helps but I would recommend spraying with a UV protection still, personally. 💜

@@craftedstudioco Thanks

Aww you made my day, thank you!!! I don't have any arrangement vids , and admittedly its not my strong suit but will be learning ! 🥰

Or maybe I should ask if you have a specific brand of coffee filters.

So the #s are actually about the size of the filter. I would pick something in the middle ground to give you the best all-encompassing use. If you go too small, its great for SOME flowers but not others. Greens... you could use any size as you can get SEVERAL little leafy pieces out of one filter. Hope this helps! No preference to brand ;)

It's not a dumb question at all!!! The basket type of coffee filters are a bit thinner and more translucent. They will still work though!!! I would recommend making your colouring more saturated and/or using acrylic paints thinned down to make leaves with the basket filters though or they may be a little see through. Give it a try - you got this!!!

Ok , thank you so much ! I found you on Facebook. I just was burnt out on crepe paper.

@@annlyon.2040 fantastic! Reach out anytime on FB for tips or advice!! 💜

Ok I'm back ! Lol what are the size of the leaves ? I like the size that you have !

@@annlyon.2040 all different sizes. I cut them randomly each and every time. Roughly.... the length of a coffee filter when folded up and the average width is only about 1" to 1.5" wide

Do you mean the floral tape.. or do you mean the glue/binding agent itself?

Glue and water mix... or modge podge...or an artist finishing shine medium. 😘
