Step 15 Step 16
Using floral tape , join the two lower sepals into a ‘ V ’ shape . Be sure to stretch out the tape and wind it down diagonally to seal the two . The sepals will need to be bent horizontally so that they appear outstretched .
Add the third upper sepal to the two lower sepals and secure them together with more floral tape .
Step 17
Repeat the floral tape process to join the two petals together .
Step 18
Now you will have two separate pieces – one with all of the sepals joined together and another with only the petals . Place the petals over the sepals and join the two together to create the orchid , making sure to secure it tightly with floral tape .
