Assembly
Join the 6 petals and twist their wires together. Insert the stamen into the center of the flower and apply glue at the joining point to secure the flower. Wrap the resulting stem with green yarn. As you wrap, add the leaves by wrapping the leaf wires with green yarn. When the stem is fully wrapped, secure the end of the green yarn with glue.
