Stamen (Make 6):

• Take 6 inches (15cm) of iron wire, starting at 2in (5cm), and wrap the yellow yarn for 1in (2.5cm), then fold the wire in half, making sure the ends of the yellow are aligned. Using the green yarn, wrap the two wires together for 1 in (2.5cm), and cut and tie a knot.

Assembly:

1. Cut the rod in the middle and set aside the other half. To create the stem for the bud, use the tail yarn of the stamen, and wrap the yarn around the rod. Cut the tail, and finish with hot melt adhesive at the end.
2. Using the rod you set aside, wrap the flower stamens around with green yarn. Do not cut the yarn.
3. Continue wrapping the flower petals one at a time onto the stem, around the stamens. Once you wrap all petals, continue wrapping the stem until all tail ends of the flower petals are covered.
4. Join the leaf and wrap around the stem until the tail end is covered. Then join the flower bud, wrap around the stem, cut the tail, and finish using hot melt adhesive at the end of the stem.
