    What is placed in the center hole? Looks like a cotton ball but that wouldn't work.

    Cute for kids and adults. I wonder if a decoupage clear stone would fit in the middle or mess up the circle.

    I am using Elmers Wood Glue to put mine together. I will have to let you know after some use if they stay together or not. I would also tell you not to get the clothes pins from a craft store $$$$. I bought mine from Walmart and the Dollar Store, but Walmart was 100 for $1.97 and 50 for 97 cents.

    I spray paint or dye with Rit much faster. I make mine into sun flowers and hang them in my yard or hang on the fence. If I am making a sun flower I use a large Pom pom in the middle.
