Place the petals in a pattern that they alternately sit entirely above and entirely below their neighbors. Sew them into place using the yarn’s loose ends.
Use the tiny hole in the base of the trumpet to insert the i-cord stamen at the center of the petals. Put a stitch in the trumpet’s base to secure it.
Just enough covered wire should be cut to fit within the i-cord stem. Put it into the knitted tube after covering both ends with gummed tape. Sew the tube’s cut-off end to the center of the backside of the petals.
The flat part of the knitted spathe should point toward the flower as you insert the stem into it. Only about a centimeter of green stem should be visible between the spathe and the petals when you sew it in place.
Bend the stem at the bottom of the spathe at a straight angle once all loose ends have been woven in.
