How to Assemble Crochet Tulip Flower

Step 1: Arrange 3 petals in a tripod formation. Using the tails from the petals, sew the petals in place, as shown in photo 1. Arrange the remaining petals one by one behind the first three petals and sew between the spaces, as shown in photo 2. Fasten off and weave in all your ends.

Step 2: Using the long tail from the stamen, sew the motif to the center of the flower as shown. Fasten off and weave in all your ends.

Step 3: Bend the florist wire in half, thread this through the center base of the flower, fold the wire in half to create a double stem. Thread a 2 meter piece of green thread through the base of the flower as shown below.

Step 4: Carefully wrap the yarn around the folded wire. Next, fold the tips of the wire up against the stem and continue wrapping the yarn around all the wires (this will create a smooth tip). Once you reach the end, fasten off and weave in your ends.
