Stalk - Oversew the row ends Cap - Gather around the cast on edge and pull up tight. Oversew the row ends leave the top of the cap open so that a small amount of stuffing can be inserted.  After stuffing sew up the top of the cap. Using cream wool embroider some French knots on the surface of the cap.  Occasionally take the yarn underneath to the cream area and pull up tight - this will flatten the cap into a better shape.  Alternatively use beads or sequins. When you are happy with the shape and the spots attach the cap to the stalk - I found this was easiest with the stalk actually on the bottle.  You are finished!
