Hello, Lia
I know U can help. Ur pattern for begonia leaf pattern only shows 1 leaf. Is this correct? Thanks, Alice.
Hi Alice!
Thanks for reaching out! We cut seven of the leaves for our plant, but you can make as many as you’d like! The template only shows one, but you’ll cut multiple of them out to create your very own plant.
Oh, this is just great! First, when I saw an image preview, I thought it was natural plant! :)) Thanks for the instructions! Cheers!!
Thank you so much, love hearing comments like this! 🙂
