Assembly

Pull the two long tails of the small circle just made through the center of the flower. Tie a knot to secure and then use the tails to attach the flower to the headband. This can be sewn on using a tapestry needle, or just tied around the headband to offer more options for later (remove the flower or place it in a different spot).
