The construction of this flower involves three parts: stamens, petals, and leaves. There are no complex techniques required; just pay close attention to the flower's form during assembly.

Part I: Stamens

1. Prepare six yellow velvet strips, each 1.2 cm long, and one green velvet strip, also 1.2 cm long.
2. Sharpen both ends and trim into a ball shape.

3                                                          4

3. Use scissors to remove the brass wire from one end of each strip.
4. With the green velvet strip in the center, wrap the six yellow strips around it, tie them together, and set aside.

Part II: Leaves

1                                                    2

1. Prepare five green velvet strips, each 3.2 cm long.

2. Sharpen both ends.

3                                                   4

3. Flatten the strips from bottom to top using the clamping board, spray with setting water, and then flatten again with the clamping board.
