Assembly:

  1. Attach the pot to the plant. You can either sew it on or use hot glue. Make sure the plant is centered in the pot.
  2. To create the snake-like appearance, use a yarn needle and some extra green yarn. Insert the needle through the center of the plant and bring it out where you want the bend to start. Pull it tightly to create a bend, and secure it with a knot inside the plant. Repeat this step as many times as desired to create a realistic snake plant shape.
  3. Weave in any remaining ends and trim excess yarn.

Your crochet snake plant is now complete! This adorable and maintenance-free addition to your decor will bring a touch of nature to any room. Enjoy your crafting!
