- PVA glue
- Glue brush
- Tape
- Scissors

3. Pass the other end of the ribbon through the other bead and also tie it into a knot. You can fix the knots with PVA glue.
4. In a bowl, dilute PVA glue and a small amount of water.

1. Print the templates and cut them out by making cuts at the indicated locations.
2. In one cut flower, make a small hole, pass a thread through it, tie its end to a knot and secure it from the back with tape.
