I was thinking maybe black for the bottom and grey for the top, and maybe making the flowers into clips that attach so I can make a few different colored ones and change them to add the right pop of color to match my outfit or mood or whatever that day.


I like that idea! :notworthy:

Loved the idea of making the flower for a hair clip! Took a picture this morning of a flower I made last night for my daughter. It doesn't have as many rounds in it as the directions said, but she has a small head :lol: Anyways, she thought she was quite fashionable this morning as she headed off to school. We'll see if it lasts the day of an active 6 year old! :crown:

I might have to make double the flowers. Some to attach to my purse and some to attach to my daughters LOL. Both of my girls would love these. Might be perfect for attaching to some crochet headbands.

Thank you! I will admit to several rip outs as I struggled to find the back loops :idonno: Good practice though right?

Does anyone else hate the straps? After trying again and again yesterday to make them look nice (and even remotely close to the picture) I gave up and found a different crochet pattern for the straps. What do you think?

Thank you! :D It’s actually a light grey colour, but my iphone’s camera kind of washes colours out a bit. I need a real camera. :rofl:
