Assembly

Arrange and join the pieces in the following order. The pattern pieces are made separately and then sewn or glued together for a secure finish.

• 1. Position the dark brown seed (center) on top of the khaki base and sew it in place with matching yarn using small whip or invisible stitches.
• 2. Attach the honey petals evenly around the seed. Space the petals to form a full bloom; sew or slip-stitch them to the outer rounds of the seed/base.
• 3. Add the milky white lace ring at the FLO indicated spot to create the layered look; tack it down to prevent shifting.
• 4. Sew leaves to the underside or edge of the base where you want foliage to show.
• 5. If you want stems, secure a wooden stick or stem material to the base with stick glue and additional sewing for strength. Trim stems to desired length.
• 6. Make several flowers and arrange them in a vase, or finish edges neatly and attach a pin/backing if using a single flower as an accessory.

Finishing & Care

• Weave in all tails securely. Use a small amount of stick glue for pieces that need extra hold.
• Lightly shape petals by hand; chunky yarn holds shape well without blocking.
• Spot clean with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing to preserve the chunky texture.

Notes & Tips

• Adjust the look by swapping yarn colors or using a slightly smaller hook for tighter stitches.
• Make multiple blooms in varying heights for a natural bouquet effect.
• Keep extra fiber fill and yarn on hand for stuffing and repairs.
