Default I need help

and I don't mean psychiatric help... my brain might be foggy, which is why I am posting.

I started a new hand applique project yesterday. It is a traditional basket with flowers on stems. I got the basket sewn down, and it looks pretty darn good, but, and this is a big but, I made a mistake and did not insert two stems on the top along side of the main stem going up.

Is there a way to get these in place without ripping out the already stitched top? Granted it is only about 18 inches, but if there is a way to get that fabric that is needed behind the basket and where it belongs...

I was thinking a small snip behind the stitching to slip the stems in... then a small piece of iron on something to keep it from raveling...

Please help. I am positive that this has had to happen to someone here.
