Thick crepe paper in white, yellow, and green (we used White (CR16), Light Yellow (CR07), and Verdant Green (CR7), from Roze,, and similar, from D. Blumchen & Co., 866-653-9627)
Cut two 1/2-by-2-inch pieces of yellow crepe paper. Twist each piece into a long strand. Bend both pieces in half so that they form a narrow V shape.
Step 5
Cut a 7-inch length of floral wire. Fold top few inches of wire over both the V shapes, as shown, and twist to secure.
Step 6
Add petals: Using floral tape, attach long tail end of 1 petal to stem. Repeat process, taping 1 petal in place at a time, until bloom is formed. Cover flower stem completely with floral tape.
Lay stem on rectangle. Run a glue stick along edge of rectangle, and wrap it lengthwise around stem, as shown. Attach large leaf at base of stem using glue stick. Write name of guest or gift recipient on leaf shape with a fine-tipped marker.
