• Assembly
  Roll stamens around the pistil base (see
  picture). Sew in place with the thread
  tail left on it.
• Attach the stamens to the thick wire.
  Fold the wire in U shape at the top and
  attach it at the centre of the stamens
  and twist it tightly with the help of
  pliers to secure it tightly in place.
• Start adding the petals, as shown in the
  picture securing each petal by winding
  with thread or with twisting the wire
  ends in each petal around the stem. Add
  3 petals in the first row, then add a
  second row of petals alternating the
  first one with three petals.
• Add three fuzzy sticks to the stem wire
  to increase its thickness (or you can
  wind thick yarn around the wire). Wind
  floral tape around the thickened stem
  wire.
• Attach the leaf to the stem about 6”
  below the flower head securing it with
  the wire at its base. Wind floral tape
  around the leaf base to hide the wire.
• Shape all petals at the base to make a
  bowl shape flattening the base of the
  petals for about ½ inches. (See picture )
