After you have dipped the stem of the flower into honey using the tweezers, it is time to place it in your beard. At this point, you will want to decide if you want to fill your beard with flowers or only place a few throughout. After choosing where you will place the first flower, firmly poke it through your beard. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until you have placed the desired amount of flowers in your beard.
