Sola flowers are made from the soft and sponge-like inner bark of the tapioca plant. This material is lightweight, pliable, and easy to shape, making it ideal for crafting intricate floral designs.

They resemble natural flowers in appearance but are typically more uniform in shape and size. Sola flowers can be crafted to mimic various types of flowers, from roses and peonies to daisies and sunflowers.

Artisans typically soak the tapioca bark to soften it, then handcraft it into flower shapes using various tools. The petals and details are often shaped individually and then assembled to create a complete flower.

Sola flowers can be left in their natural ivory color or dyed to achieve a wide range of colors. They can also be textured or painted to add depth and realism.

Sola flowers are versatile and used in various applications such as floral arrangements, wedding bouquets, home decor, and even in crafting accessories like hairpieces and corsages.
