After the thread was wrapped, I still had to deal with the two loose, sticky ends of the thread. Instead of gumming up my scissors by clipping the threads immediately, I twisted them between my fingers so that they made a single thread and let it dry. This made it easier to trim the excess thread. I'll take step-by step photos to explain this better!<br />I agree that mini bamboo made of real bamboo would be fun. I haven't worked with bamboo much at all, so I don't know how it would take paint/glue. If you do try it, I'd love to hear how it turns out!Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299687779130524142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-669532243170266415.post-85144242579709065222013-07-30T16:43:05.198-04:002013-07-30T16:43:05.198-04:00Hi Eliza,

When you say "the bamboo...I love your project. When you say "the bamboo rings were made with DMC floss, covered in tacky glue and then wrapped twice around the toothpicks", what was the sequence? In the photo of this step, the floss doesn't look stiff from glue. Did you wrap/tie on the floss, then coat with glue, or coat the floss with glue and wrap it on while the floss was still "wet" and flexible, or did you coat the floss with glue, let it dry, and then wrap/tie it on? <br /><br />Also, I was wondering if you thought slender bamboo skewers might work in place of toothpicks. I always like making miniatures from material that matches (as much as possible) the real life thing. I think bamboo made from bamboo would be kind of neat (plus you would be able to cut longer pieces from a skewer than from a toothpick, but maybe it's too tough to glue together. I realize most skewers are thicker than toothpicks, but sometimes I find very slender skewers. I suppose it's up to me to experiment with that. <br /><br />Thanks for the inspirations!
