You realize what’s humorous about me?

There’s the conventional approach to do issues.

The best way most individuals go about doing a mission or construct one thing or paint one thing or write one thing or create one thing. It’s the best way a selected skilled does one thing and shares it with individuals after which it turns into the best way that individual factor is completed.

After which?

There’s the KariAnne means.

I don’t imply to invent my very own means more often than not.

Really.

It’s simply—I’m probably not an instruction reader and I don’t have the persistence to sit down down and browse or research precisely the way it’s been performed earlier than. So I see a mission and I leap off the mission excessive dive.

Yep.

That’s me—beginning down the mission street with no street map.

Typically it doesn’t work out and I’ve to scrap all the things and begin over or simply begin a brand new mission. However typically? Typically all of it works out completely. I’ve an concept and the concept simply works out.

Like this tulip scenario. I discovered a secret to creating these tulips (those I’m holding in my hand) appear to be an expert florist organized them.

And also you WILL NEVER GUESS what it’s (I’m even sort of shocked myself).

Earlier than we get to the sensible concept?

Let’s have a look at the place this tulip association began.

Some pals gave me this blue and white vase for Christmas and I knew it will be excellent for tulips when spring got here. The vase is about 9″ excessive and when took the bunch of tulips and put them within the vase? They regarded like this.

Sigh.

This association appears to be like effective.

It appears to be like enough.

However simply between us? Nobody would ever suppose {that a} florist put this collectively. The tulip stems have been actually too brief for the vase so all of them sunk into the middle and solely the tops of the blooms caught out over the sting of the vase.

Has that ever occurred to you? Are your stems ever too brief for the vase?

Oh, good.

As a result of I’ve A TIP for you.

As a result of now?

// related blue and white vase // pink tulips //

My tulip association appears to be like like this.

Please do me a favor.

Scroll again up and see how far we’ve come.

How did I modify it up? How did I get the tulips to remain up like that?

(whole apart: Within the spirit of full disclosure to make a good comparability. I did add some extra tulips to the second association—not as many as you suppose as a result of there are tulips which might be sunken within the first association which you can’t see. I simply bought so excited when it began working that I simply had so as to add some extra.)

It’s really easy that it’s nearly unbelievable.

A STRAW.

Yep.

That’s what made all of the distinction.

These are simply strange, run-of-the-mill straws.

I used the straws with the bendable ends, however I feel any kind of straws will work. In case you are utilizing this tip with a plant with a wider stem, I feel jumbo straws would work. My predominant straw tip is to make use of a transparent or white straw (these have mini stripes on them and that works, too) as a substitute of brightly coloured straws in case you see them within the high of the vase.

All you do is insert the tip of the tulip into the straw.

After which bend the tulips barely to create motion (these are fake tulips so they’re simpler to bend than actual tulips). In case you are utilizing actual tulips, the straws with the bendable ends shall be tremendous useful.
