I use the same technique as Cenetta - it works really well.

I make the flower boquet using the high tack glue. Because I can't squeeze the bottle I take the top off and dip the stems in then throw on the flower soft. I have found that this works for me.

I like Gill T have only used flower soft for blossom on pictures, I have not had a go at the bouquets. So the suggests above are very useful.

I use Anita's High Tack Glue with the flower soft - no problem.

I use florists wire, plus I wrap that green stretchy florists tape round, and THEN I use the glue. Also Anitas tacky glue, works fine, luv Jacqui xx

I think flowersoft comes into its own when applied directly on to a card as an extra emblishment on a stamped image for example.

Hi, I also had a lot of trouble with the glue dripping off of the wires before the flower soft was sprinkled over them and used Win's trick of DST as she suggested instead,and that worked a treat, it was much easier and of course instant. You do not have to wait for the glue to dry. I also have trouble getting the glue out of the original tacky glue bottle, its so hard to squeeze. They make it look so easier in their demo's.

Also when I wanted to put little bits of flower...

Hi there
I've used flower soft at first i had trouble with the glue, but i found the right glue, which is original hi tack, it is fast tack glue, faster drying, hope that helps you!

I made stems to put in one of the pots found it worked a treat but if it is a hot day the glue might dry too fast. My I only complaint is that the glue came in a snubbed nose bottle and am finding it makes my hands ache to squeeze it. Still it is worth while as the cards do look lovely when finished, can't wait for the new colours as I have JSs lavender stamps and they are absolutely crying out for some lilac flowersoft. Very pretty card Linda.

I tried making them for the first time last week but I used some florist wire (from OH's stash - he's a florist!) and thick PVA glue and it worked. Had to use a small amount of glue and work fast. Dried reasonably quickly and only lost a small amount of bits which didnt adhere to the glue. Happy with the result though.

Will try to post a pic later when I get home - I used them with the flowersoft pots rather than in a bouquet.

I had a few not so successful attempts to start with, but found that it seemed to work best if I sprinkle the flower soft on as soon as poss after putting the glue on, and also had to get used to the right amount of glue. It is now working very successfully and the resulting cards have been snapped up by friends! It is worth persisting. Incidentally I am also using Anita's Tacky Glue. Good luck. - Lesley

I did suggest a while ago, to try DST wrapped around the 'stem'. Start a bit off on edge of table or whatever...twiddle your stem as far up and round it as you want then squodge your flower soft onto it....may be worth a try..nought to lose... sorry for the 'technical ' terms !!!

If you would like to look in my images first folder third card is a flower soft card. I used Anitas tacky glue, you get the odd bit that drops off ,but I was totally happy with the result.

cut down on the amount of glue, just dip the wire into the end and toss the flowersoft over it, dont dip it in. Then stand it up to dry in a bit of a foam sponge.

Hope this helps

Anyone had any luck with making the flower soft bouquets? Had a go at the weekend and even though I have the glue suggested, the bl..dy flower soft keeps dropping off.

Am seriously considering flushing it all down the loo!
