While in Charleston my daughter saw street artists vending palm roses and used her own money she earned from minding her P’s and Q’s to purchase one for $3. She was saving for the big finale which was It’Sugar candy store. The palm roses must have made a huge impact because she said it was better than candy and decided she wanted to make her own. We ventured out into our community and located a nice fan palm tree and took several leaves home, looked up on YouTube how to make one and got started. It took a couple (10) times but we got it.
