Flip it and put on a strip of glue.
Roll the stick tightly into the paper.
Glue the point and stick on.
Pull the stick out of the stem and put aside.*
Fold the second piece of the leaf in half.
Fold the 4 points inward.
*Allow the glue on the stem dry completely
Fold 2 points to the middle line.
Make the folds sharp.
Repeat the last 2 folds again.
Now fold the 2 top points.
Shape the top of the leaf a little round.
Put the leaf aside for now.
Cut the ends of the stem neatly level.
Flatten one end of the stem.
Make a cut and repeat.
The stem now looks like this.
Spread glue on the green sides.
Stick the stem through the tulip and press on..
Spread some glue on the bottom of the leaf.
