Nice small spirals ? Yes of course, with carex leaves !
5 mn per garland (excluding moistening/drying delays).
With leaves of Carex pendula, a stick
a knife and a clothes peg.
How to make a mini garland ?
Carve the stick and split the pointed end.
Split all the length of the carex leave in 4 strands, after moisturing it if it’s dry. And if the strands dry, re-moisten them to make them flexible before the next steps.
Insert the top of the strand in the split of the stick. Roll the strans on the stick, and fix the strand with a cloth peg.
Let dry.
Remove the top of the strand from the split. Remove the cloth peg. Rotate the strand to loosen it. Remove the stick.
