3. To make the stamens,—
(a) Cut three pieces of fine wire, two and a half inches long, for the filaments. (See picture of stamens.)
(b) Fasten a small yellow bead anther on each end of the wire filaments, by bending the end of the wire over the bead with pincers. Fold the filament wires in half.
4. To make the pistil and stem,—
(a) Cut a piece of heavy wire six inches long—to form the stem.
(b) On one end, fasten a large yellow bead to form the stigma. Cut a piece of fine wire eight inches long. One inch below the stigma bead, hold the folded filament wires in a little bundle around the stem wire, and wind with the fine eight inch wire—to form the ovary. The heavy wire between the stigma and the ovary represents the style.
5. Cut a piece of beeswax a little less than a half-inch square. Mould it with the fingers under hot water until you have a soft ball.
6. Slip the pink corolla up the wire stem until over the wound wire. Spread the stamens out to prevent the corolla from slipping off.
7. Fit the beeswax over the wound wire to form the calyx cup; and pack a tiny bit of yellow tissue paper into the opening of the corolla under the stamens.
