Take all the red rose, leaves and crystals to wire and tape them together. If you want o wire the crystal then pass a head pin through the hole in the crystal. Then you can take a fold and push in the bit of the head pin sticking the edge of the crystal. Then make use of your crimping tool to press the crimp into the pin.

Confirm to get the crimp as close as possible to the crystal. This will help the crystal to rest in position. Now turn the floristry wire around the pin and the tape.
