- Wrap all flower petals in this sequence onto the floral stem: 4 small petals, then 4 medium petals in between, finally 5 large petals outside;
- Apply glue to all the tails, wrap tails around the stem several rounds to attach, then cut off all tail;
- Attach the floral torus to the bottom of the flower;
- Arrange three pieces of leaves together, the big leaf in the middle, two small outside;
- Wrap the floral stem with a long piece of green yarn, attach the leaves as well; Apply glue at the end of stems to fix. Done!
