Amigurumi flower pot crochet

Crochet 35 sc around the bottom of the pot.

Assembly

Insert the stem into the black circle. Next, you can use a 40 mm foam polyethylene cord, or use synthetic poly filling to fill the pot.

Bend the other end of the stem by 5-7 mm so the sharp tip does not poke through the pot.

After sewing the receptacle and the petal together, use glue to wrap the stem with the remaining tail, fixing the leaf at the same time.

For the flower in the pot, use 15 cm florist wire (or equivalent). For a bouquet, it can be longer. Put a drop of glue on one end and secure the yellow spadix.

Then use a needle to sew the flower receptacle with the tail that was left.
