A guest (who shall remain un-named for her privacy, unless she sez different) kindly holds up the braid for the cameraman's inspection. That sucker took me twenty minutes to do... I was so scatterbrained and wired, I kept getting lost in the fershtuggenr braid until I found a better way to do it. Note to anyone doing a braid with flowers like this- don't BRAID it in the traditional way (three strands over and under to the centre)- instead, loop one strand under then around the flower stem, lay the next strand over that one on the left, then loop that one under the stem, bring it back over, lay the next strand and so on. You get a neat twisted edge on your rope, the flowers are held in wonderfully, and nothing falls apart...
