I used the no. 6 bias maker for the stems.  As the stems are quite tiny, I prefer to use the double sided tape bias maker.  This bias maker is so convenient for small stems like these.  Once I ironed on the stems, the next thing to do is to applique the sides.  Was thinking of using the sewing machine but decided to do everything by hand!  It will take a bit of time but I'm just going to take it easy!!
