Before you start making a flower, prepare the following materials:

Now you need to give the petals a suitable shape with a candle flame. If you use suede, then turn to the fire the leather side. It is important not to bring the skin close to the fire so that it does not char.

You have a ribbon with slightly curved petals, which you need to roll into the roller. Try to fold so that the petals fit in a staggered order.

Then fix the flower at the base with a needle or a hairpin. Now turn the workpiece and from the bottom of it, glue it well with glue or silicone. After the glue dries, you can remove the hairpin, the bud will hold well.
