Cut a chunk of the fiber optic cable - 3 to 4 inches, and pull the strands out of the tube.

Place a small pieces of masking tape over the back of each flower.

Use a pin or piece of wire to poke a tiny hole through the tape that goes through the center of the flower.

Push the fiber optic cable end just through the hole.

Put a drop of the 1 minute epoxy into the center of the flower to hold the cable in place.

When it's hardened (around 10 minutes or so) peel off the tape.

Do this to all of the flowers you plan to use.
