• Adjust number of calyx leaves or petals as desired for design variations.
• Count stitches each round for accuracy.

Tips

• Use craft glue for faster assembly; sewing is better for durability.
• Block petals gently for best effect before assembly.
• Stuff firmly, but do not overstuff to keep shape neat.
• Place safety eyes before closing head if desired.
