In this video Joost Langeveld shows us how to make the Flower Ball Tree:
Step 30: Here
the circle is being closed.
Make a second circle into the other direction.
First add two flowers on the spots indicated by
the arrows.
Step 31: And
add two flowers here, this is on the other side
of the flowers indicated in step 30.
Step 32: The
flower ball still has a few gaps.
Step 34: 2
to 4 flowers should be enough to fill the gaps.
Step 33: Fill
the gaps with a flower.
Glue/tape them the same way as in the previous steps.
Step 35: Glue
the top of the stem to the bottom of a flower
on top of the flower ball.
