It is necessary to carefully select their shape and size so that the finished composition looks harmonious and combines with the color scheme and style of decorative paper. First you need to carefully cut off their wire legs, and twist the buds together in pairs.

Using hot glue, glue the flowers along the edge of the label. In the center we fix the largest flower, then, closer to the edge - smaller flowers, and complete the composition with small buds.
