Step 3: Fold them once more to form a quarter circle.

Step 4: Trim the rounded edge to shape the petals. Cut small rounded or pointed notches as shown in the photo to create petal outlines.

Step 5: Trim the tip on the opposite end so the center hole will be the right size for the stem.

Step 6: Open the liners carefully. You should see a central hole through which the wooden stick will be inserted.

Step 7: Insert a wooden stick or skewer through the center hole and secure it on the underside with tape or a small dab of glue so it won’t slide out. Adjust the liners so the petals fan out evenly around the center.
