Place petal into former of choice and arrange to desired shape, curling edges where you like. Try and place
each one differently to create movement. Allow to dry for 24 hours.

Once dry take your dusted stigma and place 6 stamens around it, wrap with floral tape.

Start with a smaller petal attach to the stigma with tape. Repeat for the next 2
smaller petals. Then attach the larger petals between the smaller ones. Wrap the
wire firmly down to the end for a neat finish.

Look lovingly at your
beautiful Tulip….

When dry dust with your choice of petal dust in random uniformity. Again, be organic. Mix petal dust with some
vodka (Do not drink, you will need a steady hand for the next step!) with a 000 thin paint brush. Apply thin
strokes in random fashion, allow to dry, then do the other side. I use a soft foam pad with paper towel for the
petal to lay upon, don’t handle it too much.
