Finishing

If you have a preferred starching method feel free to use it. The following is an easy to do and to find low cost starching method. You can also search the internet for other options.

Using your spray starch, spray each piece till it is saturated, squeeze out the excess and then shape into desired form.

For the lily bowl, we placed it upside down on an upturned drinking glass to make sure the bottom was flat.

For the square base you can pin the corners to get them nice and crisp.

For the vase, it should be just wide enough to fit an empty toilet paper roll. You can use this to hold the shape while starching, or you can keep it in there for extra strength when holding items.

Another Option:
The lily can be turned upside down for a mushroom effect as shown in pictures
