The basic skills can be divided into six categories: entangling, twirling, shaping, bending, binding and plating.

1. Entangling: The wrapping of the paper cuts and iron wires with silk threads, in a neat manner, by loosening up, tightening, and then loosening up and tightening.

2. Twirling: the twirling of silk threads with the Index figure and the thumb, to closely entangle the threads onto the iron wires, for the making of a deer horn, turtle foot, bird beak or guava flower end.

3. Shaping: The combination of single paper cuts with threads into a basis design.

4. Bending: The use of a pincer to twist or bend the paper and iron wires into the desired shape.

5. Binding: the binding of entangled flowers together into a shape.

6. Plating: the attachment of golden or silver foil to flowers with silk threads.

Creation of entangled flowers step-by-step:

1. Drawing: Drawing of a bow shape (a.k.a. a half moon or a lip shape) on paper board.

2. Cutting: the cutting of the “bow” shaped paper.

3. Entangling: the main process.

4. Combining: the combination of all the entangled pieces of paper.

5. Decorating: Using color paper, beads and semi-precious stores, usually with golden foil.
