Step 4The stem
iImage Information

Next up is the stem. Since the part where the fabric is attached to the wire is showing the sloppy sewing, start there by putting the end of the florist's tape over it, then wrap. Try to stretch the tape while wrapping around the base of the flower and the stem.l At the end of the wire wrap a little extra, and stretch it so far that it breaks. The florist's tape will stay in place without you needing to glue it if you stretch it while wrapping! If you want to you can probably make some leafs as well, by just wrapping the end of a leaf-shape to the wire.
Bend the wire a bit to make it look more organic and presto! You have a nice fabric rose.
