5. Adjust the position of petals while assembling.
6. After all petals are assembled, attach and secure the flower base.

Notes

Crochet Tips:

1. Keep your yarn tension consistent throughout to ensure your rose petals have an even, elegant shape.
2. When attaching petals to the base, arrange them in a slightly overlapping spiral pattern for that authentic rose appearance.

Assembly Tips:

1. Carefully distinguish between the right and wrong sides of petals when wrapping. Wrap the flower base multiple times to create a natural transition effect. Wrap the stem tightly to conceal the wire completely for a more beautiful finish.
2. When applying glue, use small amounts multiple times for secure attachment. After assembly, shaping your rose is crucial for the final look.
