Step one.
You will need three petal templates as shown in first pic.If you use dress net as your flower fabric you need to cut 2 of each size petal. For thicker fabric just one. (For thick fabric cut the template in half length ways)
Step Two.
With the 2 layers together fold petal in half and sew a large running stitch along the curved edge for gathering.
Step Three.
Once gathered you need to roll/fold the smallest and secure in place with a few stitches, then secure to the middle of the next sized petal with a few more stitches. Again, fold and secure, and again with the largest.
Step Four.
Either hand sew or place your machine on wide ziz-zag and stitch the wooden sticks in place. Also a good idea to use a dot of super glue afterwards.
Step Five.
Next cut the green part, pinking shears give added interest and place as shown in pic . fold around the base of the rose and hand stitch in place.
