Floral Snips are crafting tools that can be used on foraged plants to make them wearable. They debuted at Ebon Gate 2025 and are sold in Something Borrowed in Evermore Hollow. Foraged plants snipped with Floral Snips also have a script applied to them. The type of script applied is noted in the snips' ANALYZE. Currently the two options are for Ear flowers and for Floral Hair Items.

Floral Snips

Floral Snips are used on any foraged item to turn them in to a scripted wearable flower. One type of snips applies the ear flower script. Another type of snip applies the Floral Hair Item script. This second type of snips has additional functionality to select which hairstyle option is used for the snipped flower.

Floral Hair Item

Analyze

You analyze the misty pink dreamphlox and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

Floral Hair Item
Created in Naidem, and possibly by the Floral Snips, a cluster of misty pink dreamphlox can be worn in the hair.  It will be hidden.

It will grant the following hairstyle to the wearer:
She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair worked into thick ropes of braid that trail down her back, with misty pink dreamphloxes lodged at each crossing.

Alterations
You may alter the base flower, but it may not have a long description as that will be lost in the hairstyle.
If a merchant is feeling generous, they may also customize the hairstyle for you.

Additional Information

Hairstyle Options

Available hairstyles for the Floral Hair Item style Floral Snips can be previewed via WHISPER SNIPS OPTIONS, which also indicates the currently selected hairstyle. An individual hairstyle can be selected via WHISPER SNIPS # or WHISPER MY SNIPS DEFAULT. This will apply the selected hairstyle to any foraged plant the snips are used on. Once a hairstyle is applied to a foraged plant, a new one can be applied to replace it by selecting a different hairstyle with the snips. This allows a single plant to be reused with any available hairstyle.

The snips will provide a single foraged flower with one of the hairstyle options below:

Default: She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair bound at intervals along its length with cord, each section fitted with a small cluster of (flowers).

  1. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair woven into a multi-strand plait dappled with (flowers).
  2. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair topped in a delicate (flowers)-woven circlet, allowing the remainder to tumble free in loose ringlets.
  3. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair woven into a herringbone crown braid peppered with (flowers). Incredibly fine wisps trail loose, creating a faintly ringleted halo about her head.
  4. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair drawn back into a crown-to-nape braid, a trail of (flowers) fitted into the tight weave and leaving the rest to tumble free beyond the cinching band.
  5. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair coiled into a loose chignon where sprigs of (flowers) peek between the twists.
  6. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair half-pinned at the temples, the remainder flowing free with (flowers) scattered through the locks.
  7. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair bound into twin braids that loop across the crown, their crossings marked by clusters of (flowers).
  8. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair twisted into an elaborate bun, its folds veiled in (flowers)-strewn ribbons.
  9. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair left to spill in soft waves, a scattering of (flowers) threaded along a narrow side braid.
  10. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair knotted into a low bun at the nape, its edges softened by tendrils and tiny (flowers) tucked close.
  11. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair drawn back into a simple ponytail bound at the nape, a line of (flowers) tucked beneath the tie.
  12. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair brushed behind the ears and left loose, a scatter of (flowers) threaded along the temple braids.
  13. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair twisted into a half-crown that holds the upper locks back, its crossings studded with (flowers).
  14. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair worn loose, a single narrow braid at one side clasped with (flowers).
  15. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair combed into a rough topknot, strands escaping to frame the face, the knot secured with a sprig of (flowers).

  17. She has jaw-length, fine snowy white hair pulled back into a leather-bound plait, its binding threaded with (flowers) at each loop.
