Create Paper Roses
Cut out 8-10 large rose petals and 6-8 smaller petals depending on fullness of bloom desired. Cut with paper grain running vertically for easier folding. Starting with the smaller petals, wrap around top of floral wire one at a time (image 1). Secure base with a small amount of floral tape. Alternate positioning of each petal to create a fan-like effect around the base of bloom (images 2 and 3). Repeat steps with larger petals, and fluff each layer of crepe paper as you go. Add 1-2 leaves, and attach with floral tape (images 4 and 5).

Create Paper Lilies
Cut out 11-12 lily petals depending on fullness of bloom desired. Cut with paper grain running vertically. Curl six petals into a cone and attach against (not around) the top of floral wire one at a time using floral tape (image 1). Secure base with extra floral tape. Once center blooms are in place, wrap remaining petals flat around base of bloom, alternating positioning of each petal to create a fan-like effect around the base of bloom (image 2). Repeat steps, overlapping layers of petals and fluffing each layer of crepe paper as you go (image 3). Add 1-2 leaves, and attach with floral tape (image 4).

Create Paper Pansies
Cut out two of the smaller rose petal patterns and two of the violet petals with paper grain running vertically. Wrap smaller petals tightly against the wire (image 1). Next, wrap larger petals loosely around top of floral wire one at a time. Secure base with a small amount of floral tape (image 2). Attach one small leaf, and finish by wrapping any remaining tape around the stem (images 3 and 4). Use 1/2 or 3/4 of single wire stem for each flower since blooms are small.
