Fasten off, cut, and hide the yarn tail. I put metal granulate inside the pot to add weight. You can skip it. Stuff the pot with foil and cover it with the grass piece. You can sew or glue it in place. Insert the toothpick with the heart into the grass, pushing it into the foil. You can secure it with glue.
