Notes

Crochet Tips:

1. Maintain consistent tension throughout for a uniform leaf shape.
2. The wire added in Round 2 allows you to shape the leaf.
3. Bend it gently for a natural curve. In Round 3, feel free to adjust stitch placement for varied leaf lengths.

Assembly Tips:

To attach the leaf, begin by aligning the wire stem with the center vein of your crocheted leaf. Carefully wrap the base of the leaf around the stem, ensuring it's snug but not too tight.
