★ Fasten off and leave some end for sewing.

iii) Assembly

Sew the backing at the back side of the clover making sure the excess wire is covered by the backing. Leave an opening at the top to insert the picture.

Then you will sew the stem at the back of the apple by simply inserting the two ends through the back stitch and tie 2-3 knots to secure it.

Sew the leave on the front of the apple making sure it overlap a little with the stem.

Once you're done sewing, you will make a little loop at the centre of the apple. This is where the keychain ring is going to be inserted. If you don't have any keychain ring, you can make the loop longer so you can use that to hang on your bag. To make the loop, chain how long you want it to be and simply insert it at the back of the clover (only through the back stitches) and tie 2-3 knots to secure it and cut.
