Oh my, I'm sorry ~ I don't think convert was the right word.
What I meant is that I no longer use the tongs for sugar cubes, I use the tongs now for mashing my petals on my flowers. I use them just as they are ~ I really like how the petals kind of cup forward after I mash them a little with my sugar tongs. When I used just a small flat masher the petals would just mash out flat ~ No curve or movement.
Sorry again for my poor choice of words.
Hope your disc flowers are coming along nicely!
