Tie off by slipping both the working yarn tail and the starting yarn tail through the loop. Using a yarn needle, sew the two tails back through the leaf pulling tightly and securing during the process to create the desired amount of curve to the leaf. sew through the triple crochets at the bottom of the leaf and tie the tail at the end to secure, making the tail come off of the work like a stem would.
