  1. Prepare the Wire: Cut a piece of wire twice the length of your finished stem. Fold the wire in half and wrap it with medical tape or plaster to create a secure, padded core.
  2. Fill the Stem: Carefully insert the wrapped wire into the stem. Use a wooden stick to push the fiberfill stuffing firmly into the stem.
  3. Attach the Details: Sew the leaf onto the stem at your desired height.
  4. Build the Flower: Sew the 5 petals around the center piece to form the bloom, then sew the completed flower head to the top of the stem.
