Summary
A collection of crochet patterns for 3 dimensional flowers and foliage which can be used to create beautiful floral bouquets to display at home or gift to friends and family.
The instructions will include how to make and construct 35 different types of flowers and foliage including all the most popular flowers and plants. These can then be combined in endless combinations to create wonderful bouquets to display at home or to give as gifts.
There are step-by-step instructions and photography for all the plants and flowers showing the different construction techniques – some flower petals are stitched in the round, while others are stitched flat and then formed into flower shapes. There are charts for any areas that are crocheted flat and lots of advice for how to construct the finished blooms and attached the flower heads and leaves to stems for the most life-like results.
There are also detailed instructions for how to make the flower stems which aren’t crocheted, and other plants and foliage like gypsophila (baby’s breath) which is often used in bouquets, as well as how to form and wrap the finished bouquets.
In addition to this there are suggestions for five different themed bouquets and presentation ideas so you can see which flowers work well together and what you need to consider when creating the bouquets.
