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.

Thanks

Felt flowers

My first try on felt. As always it starts with a beautiful blossom. Yes, these are felt flowers that I learnt through Pinterest.
I had been using felt as an accessory for my crochet works. But never had an opportunity to try crafts using felt. Today finally made some time and tried making some little flowers. Actually, I did not have those flower colors. All I had was white, black, dark and light brown felt with me. This didn't stop me from trying my experiment.

Materials Required:
Felt
Scissors
Fevibond.
Fabric colors ( If you want to paint them )

For method follow this pictorial instruction http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/53/49/df/5349df7353733b20bccdee4030aab72d.jpg

And I followed this instructions and made my flowers

Floral sandals.

When I came across this pattern, I simply loved making one.

For more such cute sandals have a look at my Apple of my Eye.

Flower-II

I happened to watch youtube video on how to make a flower and came up with a simple version of my own.
Chain 6 stitches
Join the loop and do 16 single crochet. Join the row with a slip stitch.
In the first chain, do 4 DC and slip stitch on the same chain.
Slip stitch the next two chains and do 4 DC on the next chain.
Keep doing until u get 5 petals. Now join to the first petal with a slip stitch
Chain 4stitches and join to the end of the petal. Continue this until you get 5 such loops at the back of the petal. Join with a slip stitch.
Now for each loop do two sets of 5 QC forming 2 petals for each loop with a total of 10 big petals.
Slip stitch at the end of the row and cut off the yarn.
The resultant will be
