Turning your Crochet Flower Head into a long-stemmed crochet flower. 

  • You will require a long bamboo/ wooden kebab stick.
  • Twist your green yarn around the stick until the wood is all covered.
  • ‘use Glue to keep it from unraveling.
Use a small amount of Glue to insert the Tip of the Wooden skewer into the bottom of the green part of a flower.
