Once dry I joined the pages together in sets of two
overlapping the long end of the pages and applying a thin line of glue
flattening the glued strip with my hand.

The next step once the glue had dried was to fold my paper
accordion-style into four equal parts.

With the two folded edges facing toward me, I cut the paper
into ¼-inch-wide strips leaving ¼ inch uncut at the end.

Wrap the base of the flower tightly with tape.

Cut a piece of wire for the stem.  The length of the wire will depend
on the depth of your holder/vase place additional wire to allow for the 'curl'.
 Wrap the end of the wire around your finger to make the curly shape.

Place hot glue in the bottom center of your book page flower and insert the
curly end of the wire into the bottom center of the flower.
