Sew wings to bee on the middle yellow stripe.

Assembly:

Pinning pieces in place prior to sewing is extremely helpful. Please refer to photos on page 3 for placement.

Place and pin your daisies first with the shortest one on the left, next tallest one on the right, and longest one in the middle and slightly leaning to the left to make room for placement of the bee. The end of the stems should be aligned. Place and pin the single leaf on the tallest daisy.

Be sure there is room to place your pot over top of the stems just covering them and still have a little room at the bottom of the hanging. Using a whipstitch, sew the daisies, stems, and leaf to the hanging.

Place and pin your pot. Using a whipstitch, sew the pot in place.

Place and pin the bee next to the tallest daisy. Using a whipstitch, sew the bee in place. Using black yarn, embroider 2 antennae at top of head.

Insert you dowel/stick:

There are two ways you can put your dowel/stick in the loops. You can just slide it through the loops as is. Or you can do as I chose to do and twist each loop before inserting dowel/stick.

For your hanger:

 You can choose to make a chain the length you want and slip stitch in each chain. I chose to put 2 strands of yarn together and tie to each end of the dowel just past the outside loops.  

I hope you loved creating this crochet wall hanging. Hang and enjoy!
