Once you know how you want to arrange things, glue it down!  Be careful when glueing down the fiber-optic fibers since the glue gun can melt them.
Glue the light down first.  It has a switch on one side and a little door on the other side for batteries and I wanted to make sure bot the switch and the little door were not glued down.  Use the floral tape to tape over the colored parts of the light and to secure the fiber-optic fibers more tightly.  Don't tape over the switch or the battery compartment door!
My flower was put together in three bunches that were able to be separated.  I started at the top and glued down one bunch, distributing the fiber-optic fibers around it.  The other two bunches I cut into three more smaller bunches each.  These smaller bunches are easier to work with and arrange.  I glued three of the smaller bunches facing up, in the same direction as the first bunch I glued down.  I then glued two more smaller bunches facing down, in the opposite direction.  You don't want all the flowers facing the same way.  If they are facing different directions, it makes it look more realistic and it's easier to hide the base of the light.  Make sure you don't glue the on/off switch or the battery door!
