Step 4

Starting at one end, roll first petal tightly to make the center of the rosette, continue rolling tightly layer by layer to form the shape of the flower. Thread needle with the long tail on the back of the flower. Tack each layer of the flower together being careful to get each layer and not pulling the thread too tight as this will distort the shape of the flower. Keeping the same long tail in needle, lay the pin back in approximately the place you want and attach with yarn just weaving it over the pin back until secured.
