    This project is by Nancy and is in collaboration with Holly and Artsy Knots



    Step 1:

    To obtain the “hardware” (or plastic parts) of the various flower centers and stems, I purchased silk flowers and removed parts for my FSL Flowers. It is important to purchase the type of silk flower you plan to create so it mimics the real flower type.

    There are three parts to the orchid flower, the back, the middle and the front. One hooping (4 x 4 inch) is required for each part and is sewn on water soluble stabilizer.

    1. Create each of the parts as described in previous instructions.
    2. Assemble all parts:
           a. Three petal parts
           b. Stem and center pieces from purchased silk flower
    3. For the front, using the same technique as shown in the Calla Lily flower previously, construct the “bell” section
    of the orchid. You will need to use a bit of hot glue to secure the “bell” section to together.
    4. While flower sections are still wet, push the flower center stamen through the “bell” section.
    5. Add the two petal section.
    6. Add the final three-petal section to the post.
    7. Insert the flower stem into the bottom of the orchid flower stamen section.
    8. Arrange the wet petals as desired and hang upside down to dry.
    9. Wrap the stem with floral tape. Your Orchid flower is complete.
