Notes

Crochet Tips:

1. Maintain consistent tension for uniformly sized petals.

2. For the flower base, after the last stitch, pull the yarn tail through the first stitch of the second round. Tie off with the starting tail and trim excess.

3. For leaves, wrap wire twice before the final slip stitch.

Assembly Tips:

1. Apply a small amount of glue to the first round of petals to prevent sticking to hands.

2. Wrap the stem extra times where it meets the flower base for a smooth transition. Wrap tightly throughout assembly.
