ASSEMBLY

Assemble in the same order the pattern is written. I would recommend using a photo of Tangela as reference for best possible outcome. Pin all the pieces in place before sewing to make sure it looks right, including the felt pieces. Once all the crocheted pieces are attached use fabric glue to attach the felt pieces.

Feel free to add more pieces for a more tangled look.
