Troubleshooting

Crepe paper tears easily

Handle the paper gently. Use scissors with sharp blades for clean cuts. For intricate shapes, consider practicing on scrap paper first.

Flowers do not look realistic

Experiment with the stamp ink and water bath techniques as described in the instructions. Refer to images of real flowers for inspiration on petal shaping and color variation.

Adhesive is not holding parts together

Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before applying glue. Allow sufficient drying time for each step. Use a small amount of glue to avoid excess.

Stems are unstable

Securely attach flowers to the wires using glue. If using a vase, ensure the arrangement is balanced to prevent tipping.
