She used the small and large oval punches from SU. I just improvised from there.
I got wooden skewers and inked them with old olive ink.
I cut little pieces of orange paper to make the stamens.I stuck them on the skewer.
I curled the ovals a bit over a pencil. Then I adhered them to the skewers. I used sookwang tape it is VERY thick and sticky. I wrapped the end of the skewer with it. I also put a small piece of the tape on the bottom of the petal.
I made grass by measuring the height of the pot and cut the paper the correct height. Then snipped many times but NOT to the bottom so I made a fringe. I rolled that up and put it in the pot. I think I made 4 81/2 inch strips.
I cut 1/4 inch strips of paper and used a gel pen to make the line down the center. I rounded the ends but crocuses have a point so if I did them again I would do that.
I just stuck the flowers in and put put the leaves in. I did not even glue them in because if you make enough grass stips it holds the leaves and flowers where you put them.
I hope this helps if you decide to make them
