HOW TO MAKE A RUSTIC CROCHET FLOWER: 3 IDEAS 2015/05/12

Spring celebrations are starting, gardens and open spaces will be the next sceneries to celebrate.

Today’s proposal has the elements to adapt to nature, it’s about a flower knitted in natural fibers and presented in 3 ideas.

Materials

• Rustic natural fiber thread
• Adequate hook
• Natural color thread
• Wooden bead
• Needle
• Scissors
• Silicone
• Thick piece of fabric

Additional materials

• Galvanized wire
• Pen
• Brown floral tape
• Rustic paper wrappings

We start making the flower, following the next diagram.

With the next diagram we will create the leaves

Symbology

We roll the flower with the thread and needle, of similar color, give some stitches to allow it to keep the base firm so it doesn’t open.

Now it is time to center the wooden bead, this will give it the idea of the pistil. With the silicone we glue the piece of fabric so it stays firm at the base of the flower,

First idea

We select a simple pen with nothing but the tube, apply glue starting at the tip and start rolling the fabric; we can use clothing tweezers to set the fabric so it doesn’t unroll. Let the glue dry; if you use silicone I recommend you that it isn’t very hot.

We paste the leaves and the flowers with the silicone to the tip of the pen.

The same decorated pen can be a party favor of our event, you will have to make one per guest; you can also organize a table where you put a sign in book so guests can write you a thought and congratulations; if the party has needed economic input you can put envelopes and small sheets for those who forgot to prepare it at home, this way the pen participates in the celebration.

Second idea

We will make a flower with stem, to use it as centerpieces. Before everything we will fold the wire on both ends, this will make it safer. Then we wrap it with the brown floral tape. Make many flowers per centerpiece.

Place the leaves at a certain distance from each other

To the tip of the wire we make an L fold and paste the flower there with silicone. A glass bottle with some natural fiber wrappings, filled with hay may be an option for the base.

Third idea

If in your event or party you are thinking about giving a party favor to your guests, you can opt for a diary or notebook; the suggestion is to wrap this gift in rustic paper and use the flower as a bow. This idea is ideal for a Bachelorette Party, a Baby Shower, a Young Lady Party.

This gift will be liked by your guests even before they open it. Also if you are invited to a party, why not present your gift in this way.

The presented ideas are ideal for celebrations like Bread and Wine Religious Party.

Pleasure to make your party special.
