Flower Stem Applique - Hand-Me-Down REHAB

I hope you're not getting tired of applique posts.  I've just been having so much fun with them lately.  They're so fast and easy (compared to most other sewing projects) that they can give me that quick craft fix when I'm having a craving without a big time commitment.

I'm working on a little outfit for Sweet Pea.  I started with a cute onesie that I picked up for half price at Goodwill a month or so ago.  I wanted to do something on the leggings to match to bring the outfit together, and was a bit stumped about how to applique thin flower stems onto them.  I can't guarantee it's the best way, but I it works great, so I thought I'd share.
