Place into a bowl of cold water. Chill 30 mins until fanned. Drain on paper towel. Place 24 green onion strips in a small heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Stand 30 secs until pliable. Drain. Refresh under cold water. Pat dry with paper towel. Using picture as a guide, attach a grissini stick to each fanned celery stalk by carefully wrapping 3 green onion strips around the top of each celery length. Tie to secure.
