4. Assembly Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions carefully. Refer to the included printed manual for detailed diagrams.

4.1. Unpack and Identify Parts

Carefully remove all wooden sheets and the instruction manual from the packaging. Identify the different sheets (often color-coded or labeled) and individual pieces. Each piece is typically labeled with a code (e.g., A1, B2) corresponding to the diagrams in the manual.

4.2. Punch Out Pieces

Gently punch out the required pieces from the wooden sheets according to the instruction manual. Use the provided sandpaper to smooth any rough edges if necessary. Be careful as some pieces are delicate and can break if excessive force is applied.

4.3. Assemble the Flower Head

Begin by connecting the individual petals and central components to form the carnation flower head. Follow the numbered steps and diagrams in the manual precisely to ensure correct layering and orientation. Ensure all connections are secure but do not force them.

4.4. Assemble the Stem and Leaves

Attach the various leaf pieces to the main stem components. Pay close attention to the specific connection points and the natural curvature or angle of the leaves as shown in the diagrams.

4.5. Combine Flower Head and Stem

Carefully connect the assembled carnation flower head to the top of the stem structure. This connection should be firm to support the flower head.

4.6. Assemble the Base/Pot

Construct the decorative pot using the designated wooden pieces. The pot is designed to provide a stable foundation for your flower. Ensure all sides are interlocked correctly.

4.7. Insert Flower into Base

Place the assembled flower and stem into the constructed pot. The bottom of the stem should fit snugly into the designated slot in the base, allowing the flower to stand upright and stable.
