Assembling

To assemble anything in crochet I always use sewing pins to position all parts first, this way you can easily move things around until you are happy. The you can sew it on.
Start with the base part of the flower, around it you will put the petals. Sew them tot he base at the bottom, and along the sides where the petals meet each other.
Then sew the body to the flower. And add his legs and arms.
Last, sew on a mouth and you are done!
