3. Cut a slit in between each petal taking care to not cut all the way through to the center.

4. Curl each petal into a tube shape.

5. After curling around a dowel rod, the petals will have a rounded shape.

6. If you would like a tight-er curl, re-curl the side of each petal around a smaller diameter tool.

9. Place and adhere the me-dium flower to the top of the assembled large flowers. Turn the flower so that the petals alternate.

10. If adding a stem, place the brad through the loop in the wire stem.

7. Continue curling until the petals of all three flowers are curled.

8. Stack and adhere the two large flowers together. Ro-tate the flowers so that the petals alternate.

11. Place the brad and stem through the hole in the cen-ter of the assembled flowers. Flatten the brad on the under side of the flower.

12. With the brad in place, the flower is very full. Ad-ditional layers can be added for more fullness.

13. For a simple variation, a straight fold line can be made along the side of each petal instead of the curl.

14. As with the curled petal variation, place a brad (and stem if desired) through the center hole and flatten on the bottom side of the flow-er.
