What do you do with a pile of felt in rainbow shades left over from a Christmas project several years ago (when not using them as a backdrop for vases on Mondays)?
You cut strips from them and make rouleaux, struggle to thread your flexible soft-tie through them before realising they are too narrow, cut more strips and make wider rouleaux, thread your flexible soft-tie through them to make a 5 metre long flexible rainbow strip and use it to restrain your wayward fatsia of course!
Job done, and most satisfactorily so…

Innovation and ingenuity…you got ’em!
Thanks John – I get these odd ideas sometimes, but they usually work quite well!
How fun!
Brilliant!
Love the wonderful whimsy and creativity.
Thanks Charlie – whimsy is a good word for it!
A great idea, I need some of these for staking.
I use strips cut from panyhose, but these are much more artistic.
Hmm – and I wear coloured tights of various hues, so perhaps… 😉 The fatsia is large and heavy though and the soft bendy wire does a great job in supporting it without puttting a strain in the stems
You are, as ever, inspirationally creative. I’m afraid I just couldn’t be bothered…
Thanks Janet – I pondered over the ‘couldn’t be bothered aspect’ and know that this is unlikely to ever be the case for me…;)
