4. When the workpiece is finished, you need to wind it in a spiral from top to bottom on a skewer or wire. Fix the end of the strip with glue. If the base is used in the form of a cone or cylinder, it is better to glue along the entire length.
5. Wrap a stalk in a green floral ribbon.
6. Cut leaves from corrugated paper, attach them to the stem with glue.
7. Make the required number of identical or multi-colored hyacinths.
