WHIMSY STICKS

 

What is a Whimsy Stick
These tools are used to make precise loops that are easily transformed into an endless variety of trims & flowers! This simple technique of wrapping ribbons and trims around these "sticks" will have you creating mounds of embellishments for your favorite projects in no time. Made of high quality acrylic, Whimsy Sticks come in two sets of varying sizes for limitless uses and outstanding styles.

How To Use A Whimsy Stick
Well you asked for it!  Here is a tutorial on how to use a Whimsy Stick and how to make a big beautiful blooming rose.

 

   

Large Ribbon Roses
If you would like to make a large rose, you will need: a Large Set of Whimsy Sticks, 1" reversible satin ribbon in pinks, narrow masking tape, a straight stitch sewing machine, and a needle and thread. 

• One package of 1" ribbon will make 1 large rose (and maybe a bud)
• Two packages will make 2-3 medium sized roses

These large roses can be seen on my sweater in the biophoto above.  I can honestly say, I have made 6-8 of each color rose and have put pin backs on them.  I am continually wearing them in different arrangements and on different clothing and accessories.  So, how will you use your roses?

 

This is Honey, my beagle puppy.  She thinks Whimsy Stick flowers are just yummy!

Just bought the book, has some great things I want to make. My question is where can I buy the sticks. The website doesn't let me buy them. Thanks for your time and great ideas.
