Flower Assembly

Begin to assemble the flower by attaching the stem to the center piece.

Place the center piece on the stem and sew the pieces together using the

yarn tail of the center piece.

Add stuffing before sewing the last remaining stitches closed.

Copyright © 2021 erinmaycrochet. All Rights Reserved.

Attach the petals by sewing along the rounds where the stem and center

piece were connected. The petals will fit closely next to one another when

attached, with very little space between one another.

Tip #2 – Use pins to help position the petals and leaves before sewing in

place.

Copyright © 2021 erinmaycrochet. All Rights Reserved.

Attach the leaves to the stem by sewing into place near the 11th round of the

stem.

Pot Assembly

Add a piece of carboard to the bottom of the pot for extra stability before

sewing.

Attach the dirt to the pot by sewing into the remaining loops of round 20 of

the pot. Add stuffing before sewing the last remaining loops closed.

Tip #3 – Take your time adding the stuffing and make sure the dirt hole is

centered in the pot. This will help your flower stand up without falling over.
