Assembly
Assemble the roses. Let each rose roll on itself and secure it at the base of the sts by threading the yarn tail through the initial chs forming a sort of cross. Then, sew the roses on the granny square (photo 1).
Attach the leaves around the roses and the stems in front of the roses (photo 2).
Attach the wrapping paper modeling it so that it creates a 3D effect.
Fasten off and weave in your ends.
