Crochet Flower Bud Brooch

I love to crochet flowers and leaves but I tend to have not many ideas about what to do with them...so here is one version in which I made Flower Brooches using crochet designs and hot glue.

You Will Need:

  • hot glue gun
  • hot glue sticks
  • fabric paint
  • mini paint palette
  • Mini paintbrush
  • 8 ply wool
  • computer with internet connection
  • 7 mm crochet hook
  • Brooch back findings

  2. use paintbrush to paint along the 'edges’ of the rosette petals
  3. use paintbrush to paint along the outside 'edges' of the crocheted leaves
  4. wait for the paint to dry

Assemblage
