3. Press one end of the dowel in the center of the XL Glue Dot and wrap it around the end of the dowel.
4. Take a scalloped circle, pinch the center and attach it to the XL Glue Dot that is around the dowel.

5. Fan out the edges of the circle.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the XL Glue Dot and the top of the dowel is completely covered.

7. Take a 1" Glue Line and wrap it around the dowel, under the ends of the petals.
8. Add petals to the 1" Glue Line until it is covered.
9. Continue adding 1" Glue Lines under the petals until you are happy with the fullness of your flower
