Assembly
Assembling the Rose Petals
Step 1: Wrap the small petals around the rod one at a time using glue at the base to seal them togetherStep 2: Take the middle petals and wrap them around the small petals one at a time, gluing them slightly over each other until you cover the sides of all the small petals.Step 3: Take the large petals and continue the process, ensuring the tip of the large petal rests between two middle petals. Using glue, attach to the outer part of the middle petals one at a time. Cut off the tails.
Joining the Sepal
Step 4: Insert the rod of the assembled rose through the center of the sepal and glue the petals and sepals together, making sure the sepal tips are curved out.
Joining the Leaves
Step 5: Using green yarn, wrap a few inches down the rod, then attach the leaves opposite each other, continue wrapping until the end, and finish by gluing the end. Arrange the leaves so they look aesthetically pleasing.
