Step 6: Assembling the Big Thai Rose

Now that all your pieces are ready, let’s put it all together!

Assembly materials

    1. Prepare the center: Take your flower rod. Wrap the top 1-2 inches with yellow yarn, securing it with hot glue to create the rose’s center bud.

    1. Attach Petals: Glue the 4 Small Petals first, overlapping them slightly. Follow with the 4 Middle Petals, and finally the 5 Big Petals. Secure the base of the petals tightly with yarn and glue.

    1. Add the Sepal: Slide the green sepal up the rod and glue it to the base of the petals so it covers the yarn wraps.

    1. Finish the Stem: Begin wrapping the rod with Green yarn. After a few inches, attach your leaves (1 big and 2 small) by wrapping the yarn over their wire bases. Continue wrapping to the bottom of the rod and secure with glue.
