Frequently asked questions
How do I turn the finished plant into a fridge magnet?
Glue a small flat magnet to the back of the assembled piece once all parts are sewn together.
How are the variegated leaves made?
The leaves use color changes to create the pink patches and white speckles against a green base, then are shaped and sewn to the stems and pot.
