Notes

Crochet Tips:

1. Use stitch markers to track your rounds and increase points.
2. Keep your tension even throughout.
3. When stuffing, add small amounts gradually for the smoothest finish. If your flower starts to lean to one side, adjust your stuffing distribution before closing.
4. The key to a natural-looking leaf lies in the wire and stitch tension.

Assembly Tips:

1. Add stuffing gradually for a perfect round shape.
2. Secure wire wrapping tightly, especially around leaf attachment point.
3. Double-check all glue points are fully dried before arranging your flower.
