I started with a piece of poplar this time.
Pre drill holes, I drilled four holes at the top, middle and bottom for the flowers. In this toy I also drilled several larger holes for straws. Follow the shreadable carnation thread by momtopercy to make the flowers. http://www.parrotforums.com/do-yourself/42308-shreddable-carnations-pic-heavy.html

I then pulled straws through the straw holes (optional)

Tie a knot at the end of a rope that is around 12 inches long. Cut a square piece of cardboard, poke a hole in the center, run it down to the knot. Take a set of coffee filters and push them down the rope

Tie a knot on the other side of the coffee filter to tighten the filters together.

Pull the flower through one of the holes and tie a knot on the other side of hole.

Push another flower down the other side of rope and tie it off the same way the first flower was done.

Repeat the process for remaining holes.
