During the last crop Barry offered a challenge where we could use flower soft. There was quite a discussion as some of us had never heard of this fun item! I researched and found that you can make an inexpensive version with styrofoam balls. Well... I found a few of them at Goodwill last week so thought I'd try it out. Just cut the ball in half and rubbed the two halves together. The results were kinda okay. A little chunky... actually really pretty chunky... and were statically charged.
So... I kinda sparkled, in a chunky-glittery way, when I was finished. (Since I had rubbed the styrofoam balls together in the car while my husband drove home from a shopping trip. The car seat was sparkly, in a chunky-glittery way, too. My husband was not impressed!)
Put the finished product into a jar, added some glitter, and attached with white glue. Turned out... but wasn't as white as I wanted. I later read that people often add white flocking to their white flower soft. And going to try that next time. Here is a close up of the finished product.
