Tips For Attaching Posies:

• Leaving a long tail at the end of the second round enables you to use that tail to attach posy to intended project.
• For a puffier posy, sew only the bottom loop of the flower into the intended project.
• Pin posies to surface of project before sewing to have a set layout.
• Mix colors and textures for interesting contrast!
• Sew a button into the center of each posy to add extra pop to the project.
