Red Pipe Cleaners | 8mm x 12 Inch | Pack of 100 - Chenille Craft Stems

Specifications

Perfect for

• Animal and character models with a solid body
• Festive and party decorations
• Wreath filling and door hangings
• School and hobby projects, with adult supervision

Compatibility

Works with: craft glue, pom poms, googly eyes, beads, felt sheets, floral wire and floral tape.

Pairs well with: floral wire and flower pollens when you are building a full bouquet.

Not suitable for: load-bearing or structural florist work. These are soft craft stems, not building wire.

Before You Buy

• The shade on your screen can sit a little lighter or darker than the stems you receive.
• Cutting leaves a wire tip, so fold each cut end over before handing the piece to a child.
• Sold as plain stems only. Glue, pom poms and eyes are not included.

How to Use

1. Cut the stem to length with scissors or wire snips.
2. Fold each cut end over so no sharp tip is left exposed.
3. Bend, coil and twist into petals or shapes; the wire core holds the form.
4. Twist two or three together where you need a thicker stalk.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many stems come in a pack and how long are they?
Each pack holds 100 stems, and every stem is 12 inch long, which is about 30 cm.

Should I pick 8mm or 6mm?
8mm has a denser pile, so it fills a petal with fewer stems and holds a bigger shape. 6mm is slimmer and better for fine detail, small buds and classroom work.
