Paint it well & let it dry. then arrange the both cups & fix with glue properly.
For making the center bud, I cut a strip of the packing sheet (you can see here) & roll it by pasting glue, then fix it in the middle of paper flower.
And its DONE.. you may use some mod podge sparkle formula to make some shimmer and shine.
