Step 1

Cut a 12 in. long piece of 14g wire and cover in a single piece of Duck Tape®.

Strip of Duck Tape with a quarter of an inch of the tape folded lengthwise and then one of the folded corners folded again across the tape so that there is a quarter of an inch of sticky side on the opposite side

Step 2

Cut a 3 in. long piece of Duck Tape®. With the sticky side facing up, fold the top a fourth of an inch down and then fold over the right corner about three fourths the way.

Step 4

For the petals, lay a piece of Duck Tape® that is 2.5 in. long sticky side up and place a piece of floral wire that is 1.75 in. long in the center.

Another piece of Duck Tape placed over the previous steps piece so that you sandwich the wire between the pieces with a small amount of sticky side sticking out the long side of the rectangle of tape

Step 5

Place another 2.5 in. long piece of tape on top of the piece from step 4, leaving about a fourth of an inch of the sticky side showing at the bottom.
