Wrap one of the petals into the shape of a tube, and glue it together. Take another petal and squeeze the ends so that it resembles an open cone. The cone should be close to the tube.

Glue the lower portion of the wings, the long rounded sides of the lemon-shaped petal, to the bottom part of the tube shaped petal. Repeat this process five times around the tube-shaped petal. The petals should overlap around the tube, and appear to extend out farther away from the center as it would in a real flower.

Curl the last three petals with a pencil and glue them, one at a time, around the other petals you completed. The petal tips should curl out.
