Leaves
I sewed 3 pieces of green yarn into the top of my radish and then tied them in a knot and trimmed them, sort of like spiky hair. I did this after I made the Radish.

Very cute and you can certainly make more than one for your bowl... or basket... or collection. ;D

There's almost a whole pot of soup in there!
