Flower board deco


I saw this wonderful flower board on Ergahandmade and wanted to try exact similar one for my home too. Its an excellent recycling method for your cartons and cardboard boxes too. All you need is the following

  1. Cardboard box
  2. Fabric glue
  3. Yarns of your choice
  4. Cloth to cover the cardboard box
  5. Buttons
  6. Stapler
  7. Satin Ribbons
  8. Scissors
  9. 3 mm Crochet hook




Step 1: Cut the cardboard to your required size and cut your choice of fabric to a size slightly bigger than the cardboad box

Step 2: Staple the fabric around the cardboard

Step 3: Start crocheting your choice of flowers. I have attached the video links for some of the flowers that I chose for my wall decor.

Flowers:





Step 5:Attach the flowers at your choice of placement with fabric glue.

Step 6: Attach satin ribbons as stems for the flowers
Step 7: Crochet leafs and attach to the satin ribbons
Step 8: Add buttons or butterflies or appliques of your choice to fill the blank spaces. I crocheted butterflies.

Leaf pattern:
Row 1: Ch 7 and SC in the stitch next to the crochet hook, HDC in the next chain, DC in the next 3 other chains and 3 HDC in the last chain and turn
Row 2: Now on the other side of the chains DC in the next 3 chains, HDC in the next chain and SC in the last chain and join by slip stitch to the first SC.

The final product will be a very beautiful wall decor.


It gives such a beautiful color to your plain dull boring wall. Hope you liked the tutorial. If you like it, please leave a message on the comments box.
