How to Make Flower Centers

1. Wrap the wire with yarn, and fold it in half to form a small center. Use the thinner wire for finer wrapping where needed.

Crochet Baby's Breath Assembly

1. Assemble the crochet petals and the prepared wire centers into small branches by securing centers to the petals.
2. Arrange these small branches along the main flower rod or stem in your desired order.
3. Wrap yarn down the main stem to secure each branch, adding small amounts of hot melt adhesive where extra hold is needed.

Notes & Tips

Crochet Tips:

1. Maintain consistent tension when crocheting the petals so each petal is uniform in size.
2. Using a slightly larger hook or working a little more loosely can yield fuller, rounder petals.

Assembly Tips:

1. Position the flower center precisely in the middle of the petals for a neat finish.
2. Wrap yarn tightly and evenly around the base to secure petals; make several extra turns at the start of the wrap to create a gradual transition.
3. Apply glue sparingly in multiple small amounts rather than one large dab to keep shaping precise and neat.
