1. Techniques for processing block-shaped leaves
As long as a piece of wire is used, the drooping leaves can immediately become energetic! Compare it, it is different. Right? And such processing will not affect the life of the leaves!
Like this, put green wire on about one-third of the leaf veins. If the leaves are large, use a slightly thicker one, and if the leaves are small, use a thinner one. It should be noted that when threading the wire, it is best to pass it through the veins on the back of the leaf, and the wire cannot be seen on the front of the leaf!
One part of the wire goes straight down along the petiole, and the other part is wrapped around it.
The iron wire fixed the petiole and supported the leaf surface. We can even adjust the appropriate angle according to our own needs!
2. Techniques for processing long-shaped leaves
The leaves of sansu leaves, also known as birds nest fern, are very beautiful and are often used in flower arrangements. But sometimes the leaves you buy are not straight and droop downward, or they may look good when they are first inserted but become soft after a day, affecting the entire flower shape. What to do?
This is the most convenient and quickest method: use transparent glue to stick the wire on the back of the leaf so that the leaf can stand up. It should be noted that when gluing the wire, your hands and leaves must be dry! Otherwise, the glue may not be stable.
There is another method that is very simple, just like sewing clothes, just pass the wire through it from top to bottom several times! However, this "lazy" method has its shortcomings, that is, wearing When using iron wire, it is easy to damage the leaf surface and pull out several large holes on the leaf surface. Moreover, this method can see the wire on both sides, which is not beautiful enough!
This is probably the best and most troublesome method, haha! Use a very thin wire to tie it slightly Thick wire is attached to the underside of the leaf. You need to make a "button" every short section, and you need to use small pliers to fix it well! Although it is time-consuming, this is the most lasting and beautiful method!
