FO and weave in ends on one side.
(I recommend leaving the top bit on just so you
don’t have to attach a new piece when you sew
the tip on.)

Then with the side that has the weaved in ends facing you place the wire/pipe cleaner
across the bottom and roll it up like you would roll up a croissant. If you have never
rolled a croissant before all you have to do is start at the bottom and roll up and out. If
you are still unsure of how to do it a video of me rolling up the croissant can be found
here:

After you have rolled it up, cut the

extra bit of pipe cleaner/wire so
that you can’t see it anymore. Then
use some yellow yarn to sew the
tips together and hide the pipe
cleaner/wire. Once you’ve done
that get rid of the excess yarn.
Then the last thing you have to do
is use the yarn that’s still on the tip
and sew the top of the flap down.
You do not need to sew that much
of it you just need to do enough to
keep it down. And voila! Your
crocheted croissant is complete.
