2. Tweak both large and small petals at the pointed end, to bring the rows to more of a point

3. Attach small petals as follows. Curve in both of the small petals and place near to the top of the stem. Using the wire from the leaf, secure to the stem and continue wrapping with the florist tape to half way between the bottom of these leaves and the end of the wrapped part of the wire.

4. Attach large leaf firmly with the wire end of the leaf. Squeeze the bottom of the leaf around stem and wrap with florist tape. If it needs extra support to hold it in place use a piece of 26g green wire and take this through the leaf and around the stem hiding it with florist tape if need be.
