Take one flower in your non-dominant hand.

Use the nail of the thumb on your dominant hand to make a small slit in the stem of the flower, just large enough for another stem to fit through. Make the slit near the flower if you want them to be closer together in the finished project and closer to the end of the stem if you want some distance between your flowers.
