Assembly

1. You will now have several options to create a stem. I used some metal wire and knotted green yarn around it, but green pipe cleaners would also look great. If you do not want to knot your yarn, you can also wrap yarn around a wire for the stem, securing it with glue.

2. Place your finished flower into its vase.

You are done!
