Crochet Rouge Rose Assembly

1. Wrap the base of each leaf stem together to create a bundle of three leaves.
2. Take your main stem wire and bend the top end, securing it with glue to attach the small petals. Layer and glue each set of petals in sequence - small petals first, followed by medium petals, then large petals. Secure each layer firmly before adding the next.
3. Trim the base of the flower neatly and attach the flower base piece, applying glue to secure it in place.
4. Using your stem wrapping thread, begin wrapping the stem. After wrapping a portion of the stem, attach your pre-bundled leaves. Continue wrapping the stem all the way to the bottom, securing with glue at the end for a clean finish.

Notes

Crochet Tips:

1. When crocheting the leaves, work your stitches tightly to ensure the wire is well-covered for a more polished look.

Assembly Tips:

1. When wrapping the stem, add extra wraps around the base of the flower to prevent the wire stem from showing through and maintain a clean appearance.
2. For the final stitch of each leaf, wrap the yarn around the wire a few extra times to ensure complete coverage and prevent any wire from being visible.
