For a decoration on petals use Pearle embroidery floss, omit all around. It will give a slightly 3D effect to the flower.


Opening for ear set:
Fold it in the middle and find exact spot. Simply stretch  stitches, and sew it over using blanket embroidery stitches ( like you working on button hole). Work ends, cut off remaining yarn.


Fold it and sew or crochet it together (long sides only). Flip it over.
