Flowers may fade but these pretty little crocheted ones are forever.

I might have mentioned that things were a little tough the last few months. One thing that cheered me up was working on these sunny little flowers for an everlasting bouquet. i enjoyed every part of the process, from crocheting the flowers and leaves, making up my own pattern as I went to gluing yarn to the 'stems' and fitting them all into a mason jar only to discover it wasn't the right height. I'm using an old pasta sauce jar at the moment, till I find something prettier to use.

The flowers were all made from leftover yarn, from worsted to super bulky weight. The leaves and stems are again from stash yarn, but wrapping the stems did use up a fair amount of yarn. While I did use a lion Brand flower pattern for 4 or 5 flowers the rest are my own creation.

I used pipe cleaners for the stems, gluing the yarn and flowers and leaves on with craft glue. It was a messy process!
Overall, quite pleased.

super pretty! Love the idea of forever flowers :) Stop by and link up to our Snickerdoodle Sunday sometime!
ReplyDeleteFresh flowers are lovely but it makes me so sad to see them fade away. I love your forever bouquet (and want to make myself one, too!) Hope that things are looking up for you.
ReplyDeleteSo cute and bright! I have been trying to bring my fresh flowers into the house more, but with the Irises already spent I am left with just a flowering bush. Wish I knew what kind of flowers they were, but I suck at gardening. Hate trying to get those cut off with thorns digging into my fingers!!!
ReplyDeleteNow those are flowrers that I could nurture and not kill ;-) Very cute.
