Hi Angela, I have made sterling roses and orchids using two or more
thin layers of sheet, folding and forming them(hardens) then making a
small sterling rivet(to fit a hole drilled in the center) to hold the
layers together then soldered a stick pin or other finding on them.
Take apart a real flower or look at some patterns in the findings
catalogs from the findings companies in Rhode Island or New York.
They are relly simpler to make than it sounds. Have fun! Margaret, in Oceanside
