Tips

• Use separate scissors for yarn and wire to avoid dulling blades.
• For a more secure hold, sewing is recommended over glue, especially for items that will be handled frequently.
• Combine with other colors or embellish with beads for creative variations.
• For beginners, pinning each coil layer helps maintain the flower’s shape while sewing.
