Stamens are commonh made by drawing thread tlirough hotwax and, after cutting into proper lengths, dipping the tips into hot waxuntil a little ball, the size of the anther, appears. For more accuratework the stamens may be made in glass by drawing to proper thinness ina blow-flame and shaping the tip, while malleable, to form the pistil is usually modeled on the tip of a wire, which is to form theflower stem. The stamens and other parts are secured to this with waxapplied with a heated metal tool. /. Success in making artificial flowers comes rapidly with experience,for w
