Continue making petals and wrapping in the center after adding each petal is made. Make five petals. To make the center, wrap the wire around the center by going over and under ever two petals several times. End the wire in the back by twisting to the stem. Trim off excess wire. Create your leaves the same way. (make sure your leaves have a small stem too.
