    Yellow short stamen
    9 Long stamen
    Flower rod
    Hot melt adhesive
    Fiber Fill/ Stuffing

Putting all together

  • Step1: Get the flower rod and wrap it around with a green yarn for at least 3cm long.
    Step 2: Insert the short stamen in the stem and secure it with hot melt adhesive. Fill it with stuffing inside and wrap it around with the remaining yellow yarn of the short stamen and tie it after.
    Step 3: Using hot melt glue, paste the long stamen around the short stamen and make sure that the spaces between the long stamen are equal.
    Step 4: Wrap the area below the stamen with green yarn for at least 2 cm long.
    Step 5: Attach the 8 middle petals around the stamen.
    *There’s should be an overlap for the petals so it will fit the stamen.
    * Just put a small amount of hot melt glue to the lower part of the petal so you can adjust or control the level of it’s bloom.
    Step 6: Wrap the bottom part of the petals using green yarn.
    Step 7: In between of the middle petals, put your big petals around it and secure it with hot melt glue so it will not fall.
    Step 8: Wrap the bottom part of the petals again with green yarn.
    Step 9: Cut the unnecessary yarns and lessen the amount of visible iron wires so you will achieve this shape.
    Step 10: When you achieve the desired length of the green yarn, you can now change the yarn into brown and wrap it around until you reached the end point and secure it with hot melt glue.
