PUTTING IT TOGETHER
Take your Lily of the Valley flowers and wrap the exposed Anther and Filament wire ends with Light Green yarn. Secure the ends with a knot or a drop of hot glue.
Take your Floral Craft Rod or Bamboo Skewer and wrap your Light Green yarn around the top, working your way down an inch of the floral craft rod or bamboo skewer. Secure the end of the yarn with a drop of hot glue. Cut off excess yarn.
WHEN USING BAMBOO SKEWERS, CUT OFF THE POINTY END WITH A PAIR OF SCISSORS
Attach the small flower onto the side of the floral craft rod or bamboo skewer, securing it into place with hot glue. Wrap Light Green yarn around the stem and work your way down an inch of the floral craft rod or bamboo skewer (Photo 8).
Repeat the process for the other small flower and the other 6 large flowers. Attach the leaf onto the side of the stalk with hot glue, and wrap the excess yarn around the wire, yarn and floral craft rod or bamboo skewer, work your way down an inch and attach the other leaf onto the other side of the stem with hot glue (Photo 10). Wrap the remaining excess yarn around the entire stem, securing the end with a drop of hot glue. Cut off any excess yarn and wire and remove traces of hot glue.
