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.

Attach the leaves to the stem by sewing into place.

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

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.
