NWFashion 10PCS/Package Artificial Dried Brwon Lotus Pods with Stems(6-8CM) …

They arrived without damages. I already read reviews that mention metal stems not assembled so, I knew this. I used a small drill bit to drill holes onto seedpods. You may have to use flower branch prunner to establish flat surface to drill. Do this without holding the pod in your palm as you may inadvertently drill through the pod and get injured! The drilling process took less than 15 minutes. I used clear silicon gel on securing metal stems. They turned out very well. Seedpods look rustic and authentic. I highly recommend purchasing these lotus seedpods. This was inexpensive way to add the lotus seedpods to my existing dry flower arrangement. I included a photo.

The lotus pods are very nice. All arrived intact. Ot took a long tome though. I ordered them on August 1st and did not receive them till August 16th

Ok so these were exactly what I ordered, however I did have a problem and one thing to mention because it could be a problem for a few. First of all there were spider egg sacks in many of the pods so I had to take the time to get all the little creepy critters out. The other thing that could be a problem but it wasn’t for me because I didn’t need to use them with the first project that I did is the sticks that come with it that you have to insert into the pod, Yourself are really hard to actually get into the pods. Like you really have to kind of fight with them a little, they will eventually go in, but for some it may be too difficult.

The pods are nice and similar to the photos. But there is no easy way to attach the stems. There is no hole at the base of the pod for attachment. When you try to shove the stem in, the pod breaks.

My package arrive in very good condition. It was extra packed it so that they would not get crushed. The dried flowers look great. I'm glad I took the chance.

Although pieces were all there, there is no way to insert the stem/sticks (no pointed ends) into the pod backs without drilling holes first. More of a project than expected.

A few more smaller pods would be better. Bigger ones cannot be used in small arrangements. The large ones become the focal point instead of the flowers.

They are really nice. Came intact and in great shape however….. the stems are metal and NOT easy to attach to the actual pod. It was a pain. I got glued them and seemed to do the job. Good luck drilling a hole that small!
