Creating the Flower

- Step 3: Assemble the Flower - Once all petals are ready, gather them together and twist their ends tightly to form a flower shape. Trim excess wire if necessary, and wrap the base of the flower with floral tape to secure it.
Building the Stem
- Step 4: Build the Stem - Cut a longer piece of wire (12-18 inches) for the stem. Attach the newly formed flower to the top of the stem wire, securing it with floral tape. Cover the stem with tape or paint as desired.
Finishing Touches
- Step 5: Final Touches - Add leaves or additional embellishments to your flower ornament for a more polished look. Allow everything to dry, and your crystal flower ornament is ready to display!
