then I'm ready to attach my second when I'll put this down for just a second and I've already ball tools a second piece I'll just turn it upside down same technique that I use Pierce it through slide it all the way up now when I add my second layer of petals I do want to make sure that my alignment is correct wherever there is an overlap so find where there's one petal that's overlapping another I want the center of the next layer of petals to line up with that overlap I can attach a little teeny tiny bit of glue all the way around the bottom just a little bit and then start to adhere my petals again I don't want that glue to be too high I don't want it to be showing but I'm gonna overlap my petals just as I did before but I'm making sure to line up every where there is an overlap I want the center of my next petal to be and I can just keep gluing if I need to add a little bit more glue I can't beginner sugar flower makers tend to use too much glue so we want to go just a little bit at a time as we overlap our petals and then when I'm doing that last petal again it gets tucked on top of the fourth one but I need to make sure that it comes underneath my first ones we're going to peel back my first petal put my fifth petal down and then put it on top so that the fifth petal is on top of my fourth one and underneath my first one I do want to make sure that everything is at here so I'll push all of the gum paste into my center it's okay if I have a little bit of exposed pieces here I'll cover that up in just a little bit either with a calyx or with our next layer of petals if I need to add a little bit more glue I can just add a tiny bit at a time once I have those two layers on we're going to leave this overnight to dry so that I can either finish it off as a bud or transform it into a full flower
