This method works well if the flower head is firmly attached to the stem. Cut the flower stem an inch from the bottom of the calyx. Insert the stem wire inside the center of the stem up into the flower head until it is secure. Form a hook, and pull the wire back down through the flower. Tape the stern and wire tightly.
Flower supports add strength and flexibility to the stem allowing the flower to be gently bent.
Insert the end of a stem wire vertically into the base of the calyx. Loosely wrap the wire around the full length of the stern in a spiral. Tape the stem to cover the wire. Wireless taping Wireless taping is a perfect technique for free flowing hairpieces or- corsages. Wrap a piece of floral tape around the top of the stem and twirl the flower in one hand while twisting the tape lightly around itself until it is as long as you want it.
