re: Help please! Petals twirling on the wires.

Thank you all for your help. I’ll give these a try and tweak my methods. I think it may be a combination of a lot of these things you’ve all mentioned and I just haven’t come across the right combination yet. Thanks again!

I guess I should mention that I’m making open peonies. Would you suggest a #24 gauge for these or something stronger, as the petals tend to get pretty large?
