I have made this fairy and she looks fine as the fairy, but when I try to flip her into the flower, the petals are floppy. How do I get them to fold up neatly like you have done in the picture? I feel like the only way I could do it would be to crochet some florist wire around each petal!
Hi, this could be due to a crocheter's personal tension while crocheting. You can either try switching to a smaller crochet hook or incorporaring florist wire at the center of the petal (close to the foundation chain at the beginning).
Since the project is already done, you could also try mixing water with a small amount of fabric glue and applying it to the petals, to make them less floppy.
