Beginner's Guide to Crochet Flowers for Paper Crafts, Cards, Scrapbooking

[rodakowski]

Oh how fun, a kindred spirit! I'm an avid papercrafter and haven't held a crochet hook in my hand since I was a child. But I love the idea of creating my own flowers and embellishments instead of buying them. So I bought a kit over the weekend, and after viewing lots of "how to" vids finally stumbled upon Mikeysmail whose were the first ones that I could follow. I'm just getting the hang of it, but I can't wait to try your project once my fingers are a bit more nimble. Thanks for posting!

I've never seen someone look so awkward crocheting! You certainly have patience girl!

Wow Lisa, These are beautiful flowers! I love the dark purple & those big white ones are lovely. You were one busy lady, thank goodness for long flights! LOL! Great idea in finding books for kids on crocheting, brilliant. TFS...

Huggs,

do you have a video on the daisy?

[cropwithLisa]

@Stephaniewatercolour I do like the daisy! lol

The next video I do will be to show the books I have. Don't know if they are best, but they are all I know. The daisy recipe is in there. Then I'll do the daisy for the 2nd flower :) Thanks for watching!! I hope lots of people make them and share recipes - the books are costly and limiting (aren't geared to paper crafts).

[cropwithLisa]

@cindysms Yep! LOL It was a loooong plane ride :)

Lisa, I so want to learn how to crochet. Do you by chance have the title of the book from the library? And I really like all your flowers. From what I can see the daisy one look cute! Thank you for sharing and letting me know what to get to get started:)

@racken00 Hi Eva!

I can't remember which book I liked best. I checked out what I could. But 1 of them was Crochet: fantastic jewerly, hats, purses pillows & more by Jane Davis

I don't see the other one I had - they have new books now. Kids Crochet by Kelli Ronci looks pretty good :)
