To assemble the flower, cut approximately 15 cm of galvanized iron wire long. In the center, roll the white cotton several times to form a ball. Twist the iron wire around itself about 4 cm to create the connecting rod. Insert the pestle, the center part, the flower and the cup. Cover the connecting rod with cotton, working the chains around it.
Insert the cup into the button and sew it to the connecting stem of the flower. Make all the flowers and buds you need for your composition.

To get to the wire and work the single stitches, go down half a sheet with slip stitches. Tie the flower and leaf clusters to the stem. Cover it with cotton wool working the chains around it, except for about 3 cm that will be inserted into the vase.
Model the whole with your hands.
You should look for craft fairs in your area and attend one if you can find one. If you prefer to sell your products online, you can research websites and auction sites that accept crochet products.
It is important to remember that crocheting is a time-consuming hobby. The economy is undermining the value of handmade products. If you can find a good market for your items, selling them is not difficult.
