It is very pretty but for those of us just starting out with such projects you should include how much gauze is needed and which side of the gauze is torn, the long end or short end. Would love to try, but without more info beginners can not suceed.

Just rip down the 10 inch edge, that is the longest side thread it and pull the thread until you have a little roll, as tight or as loose as you'd like. -)

You do not have to make petals. It's the way the material goes when you pull the thread tight, As loose or as tight as you'd like. You can exoperiment with the length and tightness, once you get the hang od it. -)
