- Step 2: Insert the rod through the center of the coffee holder to the bent end.
- Step 3: Align the cotton over the flower holder, completely covering the bent rod. Make sure that the petals are not aligned but rather rest in the space of each other.
- Step 4: Thread your needle using the flower holder tail and insert the needle through the center of the cotton.
- Step 5: Insert the needle through the flower holder’s tip and into the cotton’s center. Ensure the thread rests on the spaces of the cotton petals. Repeat this process until all petals are joined together. End by slip stitching back to the center.
- Step 6: Using the needle, pull the coffee holder toward the top center of the cotton petals
Side Stems (2 No)
- Using iron wire, repeat steps 1 to 6
- Using the tail, wrap the yarn around the wire until it is completely wrapped in yarn.
Assemble
- Wrap the coffee yarn around the rod,
- joining the side stems every 2 in (5 cm) on opposite sides.
- Then, wrap the rod with yarn until the end and use glue to seal the end part so it does not unravel.
