Looking for something cute and unique for your next spring craft show? These adorable little flowers are super easy to make and have been successful sellers at the few shows I have been able to get to in the spring and summer months.
This is another one of my last minute quick makes created to use up the items I had on hand in my craft room. I still love making these even after years of whipping them up. A little tip of mine is to add a cute leaf shaped price tag to the stem.
Here's what you'll need to get started.......
Materials:
Premier Home Cotton(approx. 30 yds)
G(Boye 4.25 mm) Hook
Floral Tape
Wooden Skewer
Scissors
Needle
Abbreviations(US Terms):
SK = Skip
sts = Stitches
ST = Stitch
SL= Slip Stitch
CH = Chain
SC = Single Crochet
HDC= Half Double Crochet
DC = Double Crochet
Note: You will make 3 flower layers for each Flower. Finished flower will be about 3” across.
To begin create a magic ring, you will need a small hole left in the center to place the layers on the skewer.
ROUND 1: place 6 SC sts inside your magic ring, SL to your beginning SC to connect(6 total)
ROUND 2: CH 1(does not count as a ST), place 2 SC in each ST around, SL to your beginning SC to connect (12 total)
ROUND 3: CH 3(counts as a ST), place 2 DC in the same ST, repeat(1 DC in the next ST, 2 DC in the next) around, DC in the last ST, SL to the top of your beginning CH 3 to connect (19 total)
ROUND 4: CH1(does not count as a ST), repeat [in the next ST place (HDC,4DC,HDC), SK 1, SL, SK 1] 4 times, in the next ST place (HDC,4DC,HDC), SK 1, SL to your beginning CH 1 to connect. Cut, tie off, and weave in your ends.
NOTE: You will have 5 total petals. Once you have completed all 3 flower layers continue on.
Take your floral tape and wrap the wooden skewer working from the flat bottom up. Stop about 1 inch from the point. Now place your flower layers on. Cover the tip of the skewer with a bit more floral tape just to keep the layers from falling off. You can remove the tip tape to take off the layers later. I suggest curling the petals up slightly on the edges.
