Troubleshooting
Tissue paper tears easily
Handle the tissue paper gently. If a piece tears, try to carefully patch it or use a fresh sheet. Practicing on scrap paper first can help build confidence.
Flowers don't look as full as pictured
Ensure you are using the correct number of tissue paper layers and gently fluffing each layer after shaping. The instructions provide guidance on achieving a fuller look.
Difficulty attaching elements to the ring
Use the raffia thread provided and follow the diagram in the instructions carefully. Ensure the thread is tied securely but not so tight that it damages the elements.
