Green tape – for covering stem. Also available in the crafts shop. Cost is around 10-20 Rs per piece.

Stem wire – 10 Rs per piece.

METHOD
First we need to cut paper templates which will be used to cut the cloth so that all the flowers are of the same size.
Three paper squares need to be cut.
1. large – 10 cm by 10 cm
2. medium – 8cm by 8cm
3. small – 6cm by 6cm

Now using the paper square templates cut the cloth. 3 pieces of the large size, 3 of medium size and 4 of the small size.
