They used to give them away for free or some other rediculously cheap price. Auto touch up piant will stick to the brads so if you don't want the centers of the flowers to be brass, you can pre-paint them and the kids can choose any color they wish.Julie Anne of Diamondmeenuh Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697416526843905785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984565117890016321.post-68387516938347402062008-03-05T16:41:00.000-06:002008-03-05T16:41:00.000-06:00Yup, go with the brads for the flowers, they're su...Yup, go with the brads for the flowers, they're super cute and it looks like a fun project! ...

They look like a brass thumbtack with the tail of a bobby pin. Assemble flower layers, poke brad through (careful not to mess up Brad's hair---sorry, couldn't resist...), twist pipe cleaner around brad, and fold brad ends outward which hold pipecleaner to flower. I used to do this with 3 year olds when making pin-wheels. Instead of a fuzzy pipcleaner center to the flower you've got a shiny brass brad center, that'll be your only difference in final outcome...hope all that made sense :-)Julie Anne of Diamondmeenuh Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697416526843905785noreply@blogger.com
