I laminated a picture of Jim and one of myselfI then put three holes in each and attached wires, which I then connected with what I call a chocolate block connector.
Then I made a hook from some 10mm cable.
I prefer your pipes - pray tell your methods.

I cut the pipes into 8 various lengths (ranging from 1" to 4")then heated those bits until they glowed red and threw them in a bucket of water (I was using really old pipes that were very brittle if I tried to bend them, heating them made them more flexible).
Then I cut the pipes down the middle to unfold them and make them flat. I then cut these into hourglass figures (8's)and started to hammer the outside edge with a chisel to make little groves (texture on the petal). Next I drilled a hole in the middle and reheated each petal as before. I assembled them all onto a it of electrical wire and soldered the bottom on. Finally I started to bend the petals up and curling them back at the top.
Your gift sounds ace, homemade gifts are the best.
