Now it is time to form the careful centre of the flower. employing a 1-inch circle cutter, cut out ten circles then cut them into semi-circles. Using a hot glue gun, apply a dab of glue to the corners of the semi-circle. beginning simply off centre, attach the semi-circle to the egg type. The semi-circle ought to have slightly carry, thus glue it down with a little arch.
