can I cut the stem on artificial flowers?

[mckenzie]

I bought some today in the Habitat sale and they are perfect - just too long. Can I cut them do you suppose without ruining the stems?
They are called Floreo for anyone who cares to look

TIA

they have wire in the middle so you will need something pretty hefty

If you are putting in a coloured vase (ie not clear glass) you can bend them to fit inside

thanks Cyb. I've got 8 so DH is going to have a try cutting one tomorrow.

Electricians' sidecutters will cut them neatly (I used DH's when I did SIL's wedding flowers. HTH

thank you - I'm sure DH has something suitable in the garage. He has an extensive collection of DIY tools, he just never uses them

No worries, hope you got them sorted - DH is too the proud owner of an extensive collection but is always using them, often while I MN and drink tea!
