How to Make It

  • First, you crochet a small rectangle and sew the sides to make the flower head.

  • Next, you stuff it with cotton to make it puffy and round.

  • Then, you crochet the leaves and wrap yarn around a wire to make the stem.

  • To make the vase, you crochet a circle for the bottom and work your way up.

  • You slide a plastic sheet inside the vase to keep it strong and stiff.
