Crochet Dried Violet Flowers Assembly

1. Take wire stem number 2 and insert through the center stamen, secure with hot glue.
2. Arrange all five petals evenly around the stamen in a circle. Trim any excess wire and thread ends for a clean stem appearance.
3. Begin wrapping thread around the base of the petals, working your way down the stem.
4. Secure all elements by adding a final touch of glue and let dry completely.

Notes

Crochet Tips:

1. Take time to shape and flatten each petal after completing them - this essential step gives your violets that authentic pressed flower appearance.
2. When adding wire, keep it centered and your stitches snug but not too tight to allow natural shaping.
3. For the flower center, maintain even tension across all rounds to achieve that perfect dried stamen look.

Assembly Tips:

When wrapping thread at the petal base in Step 3, add extra wraps for stronger support before continuing down the stem. This ensures your violet maintains its shape beautifully.
