Every student in my daughter Ella’s class decorated a small box for collecting Valentine’s Day cards and treats. Ella painted a box, inside and out. Then she said, “Mom, may I use some of your flowers?”
Of course she might use some of my flowers! She chose a pink mohair “Large Fancy Five,” an angora “Oval Center Rose,” a cotton “Small Fancy Five,” and a “Petal Arches” flower—all from Crochet Bouquet. She glued them to the box flaps for a lovely finishing touch.
Kids can think of all kinds of cute things to do with crocheted flowers. So if you have been crocheting flowers for fun and challenge, but don’t quite know what you’re going to use them for, give them to a child. They’ll know what to do.
I have to share this, too. Ella made it for a friend’s birthday. I thought it was a dragonfly, but Ella told me it is a flower. She made it all by herself. I’m so proud of my crafty daughters!
