Chenille stems have quite a number of uses. Also called “pipe cleaners”, they are used in quite a variety of different displays because of their availability in different colors. We use them in the warehouses quite liberally because of their ability to be color coordinated into vignettes. We also use them as simple price tag hangars. Here is another use for them.

Creating a fresh flower arrangement is always a rewarding experience. From the fragrance of the flowers to the beautiful colors, there are many benefits. When working with the different types of flowers, there can also be potential problems with the cleanup. Ever worked with a flower and gotten pollen on a shirt, blouse, or pants? If you try to simply wipe it off with a paper towel, you quite possibly just rubbed it into the fabric of the clothing and made it impossible to remove. Instead of a paper towel, grab a chenille stem! Brush the pollen off with a chenille stem. It is a much easier way to remove the pollen without rubbing it into the clothing.

Try it out and you will be amazed at how easy the pollen comes off by using a chenille stem.
