I have added a page of leaf shapes that you can print out, paint, and cut out below, as well. First, cut 32 gauge green paper or cloth covered wire into various lengths for stems. For some flowers dip one end of the wire into yellow acrylic paint & stick unpainted end in floral foam until dry, to give the appearance of stamens. For others, dip one end into white Elmers glue, then immediately into medium yellow foam from railroad model landscaping material can get thru hobby shops and at Mini shows sometimes,and stick end in floral foam sahara type as before til dry. If you put your dipping glue on a piece of damp paper toweling, it will stay workable longer without forming a film or drying out as quickly. Vary the colors of the stamens according to the type flower you plan to make. Im still experimenting to try to find the most realistic lily stamen though. Most everything Ive tried so far looks a little too clunky. The thinner ones break too easily.
