Not sure where to post this, but here goes.
1) Start out with a pattern
You can also take apart fake flowers and use them as your pattern
2) transfer your pattern to the sheet metal of your choice. I recommend brass or copper they're easier to soften when they work harden.
3) cut every thing out and carefully either sand or file all edges. Be careful the edges are very sharp until this is done.
4) drill the centers on all of your pieces for a snug fit on your stem. For the included pattern 4 gauge ground wire works well. The hole doesn't have to be perfectly centered just close.
5) slide all pieces onto the stem in the proper order, then starting at the end attach each piece with solder (hot glue works for aluminum)
