Fold 9 to 10 inches of floral wire in half. 4. Hook wire over center of yarn and floss; pinch tight, and twist to create the stem.5. Snip looped ends of floss and yarn, and fluff. 6. Cinch at base of flower with floral tape, and cover stem.7. Trim stamens short; adjust petals, trimming to desired length.
