🌿 Assembly

Step 1. Insert the stem through the flower base and secure it with a small amount of glue.

Step 2. Using the remaining yarn from the flower base, sew the flower center to the base through the BLO, adding fiberfill stuffing at the same time to shape the flower.

Step 3. Starting from the top of the stem, wrap yarn around the stem and attach the leaves by wrapping their wires around it.

Step 4. Continue wrapping the yarn down the stem to secure everything in place. When you reach the end, fix the yarn with a small amount of glue.
