How To Make Christmas Flowers!

Who wants to make paper Christmas flowers?.. Get those hands up! Here is a fun and kinda-sorta easy way to make paper flowers for Christmas decor.
Let's start!
These are the wires for the front and back of one leaf.
Put the wires on the front and back of the leaf and tightly twist all of the ends including the bottom.
I glue my cutouts on top of parchment paper (baking paper). The superglue occasionally sticks in spots, but pulls of easily. Your going to glue under all of the wire and extra on all of the ends.
I put another piece of parchment paper on top and then add a piece of plywood and some kind of weight. I used bottled water as my weight. :) This assures that everything glues down tightly.
Here is my drying process.
I live in Japan, so all of the paint I use is local. Any acrylic craft paint will work well on this craft.
I found these thing-a-ma-doodles at the Japanese dollar store. I guess they're called "ball picks!" I use these for the center of my flowers.
I use glitter glue and then sprinkle glitter onto the glitter glue.
The glitter glue I use has a nice little nozzle making it really easy to draw with. The glitter glue takes about 24 hours to dry.
Twist all of the petals and leaves together using extra wire to make it all tight.
