Assembly
Using the tail from the front flower, sew the front flower onto the back flower, making sure the back petals are in between the front petals.
I strongly recommend blocking the flower here as the petals are very curly.
Using the tail from the back flower or a sewing needle and thread, attach to a hair slide, hair clip or whichever support you have for your flower.
