Remove the cut petals:
- Once the machine has finished cutting, carefully remove the paper from the cutting mat.
- Gently separate the petals from the excess paper, ensuring not to tear them.

- Take one petal at a time and use your fingers to crumble it gently. This will give the petals a natural and realistic appearance. This video has detailed steps on how to
- Be careful not to crumple the petals too tightly, as it may damage the paper or make them difficult to work with
- After crumpling, shape the petals by gently curving the edges with your fingers. This will add dimension to the flower.
- You can also curl the petal tips slightly using a pencil or pen to create a more realistic look.
Assemble the flower:
- Take one petal and apply a small amount of hot glue along the bottom edge.
- Repeat this step for each petal, each later is slightly larger than next
- Continue adding petals until you are satisfied with the fullness of the flower.
