In the second round of the tape, one by one start placing kernels to make different layers of it and forming a whole common wheat.

Step 10: Completing Making The Common Wheat

Continuously make rounds of the tape to reach a suitable length of the common wheat and as the end reaches, roll over the tape at one place over and over to secure the end. As the kernels are secured, start to roll over the tape again to form a stick beneath them. Tightly twists the end of it to make it stiff.
