ASSEMBLY

Pass the Floral wire through the flower base (6) and flower petals. (7), and bend the floral wire inside using pliers (8). Sew the flower base to the petals (9).
Using the floral tape, wrap around the floral wire, to have a more polished look. As you wrap add the small leaves and wrap around the small wires. Do some more warps, and add the big leaves the same way (11). Finish off and weave in the yarn threads. So we’re done, good luck.
