Happy Easter! I really hope that you are loving the long weekend: plenty of time for crochet and crafting. Perfect. I thought that I would share with you my finished Easter / Springtime wreath. The wreath is both a follow-on from my last post and a recycle from last year's post. Last year I made my wreath by stitching my crochet Daffodils on to a fabric (stiffened with buckram) circle: while this worked, it did begin to droop. Something needed to be changed: inspired by Attic24 and a polystyrene ring bought in a craft shop I set about crafting something new. Hope you like it…
I am chuffed to bits with how it has turned out. Here’s how I made it. I started by crocheting a long green panel,
to become the background of the wreath.
Using half-treble crochet, I didn’t realise quite how long it needed to
be…
I pinned the background crochet to the polystyrene ring, to
stop it moving around while to stitched it together…
Once that was finished, to real fun started: pinning the
flowers to the wreath…
It took a few attempts, adding extra flowers and moving them
around; to get the look I was happy with…
After another move around and adding some crocheted leaves, I was happy…
I wonderful, happy, crochet mix of background, Daffodils, Primroses
(I am wiring-up the crochet pattern and will share it with you very soon), and
leaves…
