Peel of the paper backing of the square and fold over to form triangle as in picture below Step 2. Fold over the bottom corners of the triangles to form pleats to form petals like shown below.Apply a little glue to stay in place.Create 6-8 petals depending on choice.

Step 3. Glue gun the 6 petals together side by side to form a ring.Dab glue in the center to result in shape below.Glue the foam piece to the center of the button.
