DIY Faux Strawberry Stems: An Easy Summer Decor Idea

I've been on a long search for faux strawberry stems since the beginning of summer. I should have jumped on them when I saw them at Magnolia, but I thought I could find them cheaper. Apparently, they don't exist! At least not as individual stems—only in bunches, which I didn't want. And now they're out of stock at Magnolia, so I decided to make my own DIY faux strawberry stems...because why not? :) And, of course, for waaaay cheaper!
