  I too thought these were real at first glance. Your parents must have been delighted. Everlasting flowers. Beautiful.

  Thank you. The trick in making it look real is to use variegated thread rather than solid colours

  Thank you, with trial and error I found variegated threads looked much more realistic

  Thank you, Mum thought they were real too, I had to stop her putting them in water.
