Spring Flower Crochet Garland

This Spring Flower Crochet Garland will add that pop of color and brighten any space in your home! 

It can be hung on a mantle, a shelf, a wall, a window, wherever you think needs some color. I put it in my closet that I converted to my workspace! Especially after a dull winter, it makes sense to brighten your home. 

Making something handmade and being creative are the 2 things that make me happy! I hope it is the same for you, if not why not give it a go and see what inspires you! I have a post about 10 fun hobbies, do check it out if you need some inspiration!

HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS SPRING FLOWER CROCHET GARLAND? 

This is the pattern from Pinterest that I used to crochet the flowers. This is a diagram pattern. If you need help reading these kinds of patterns, there is a great article by Yarnspirations on how to read crochet symbols. I prefer following diagrams to written patterns!

If you like following written patterns, I will attempt to write the pattern down! I am definitely not a pro at writing patterns, so this is my humble attempt at it!

CROCHET FLOWER PATTERN (in US terms)

DC – Double crochet

  1. Crochet 10 chains and join with a slip stitch.
  2. Make 3 chains (counts as first DC), DC 23 times into the circle. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the 3rd chain at the beginning.
  3. Chain 3, and I DC together. 5 chains and 2 DC together in 3rd DC below (skip 2 dc), repeat pattern, and join with a slip stitch to the top of the first 3 chains and dc together.
  4. Slip stitch into the 5 chain space, * (Single crochet, 7 DC, single crochet) in the 5 chain space. Repeat * pattern in every 5 chain space around and end with a slip stitch. Finish off and weave in ends. I made one flower in each color thread that I had. 

If you have any questions please ask me in the comments below. I will get back to you.

After all the flowers are done, start a crochet chain and attach the flowers as you go. I crocheted about 40 chains at the beginning and about 20 chains in between each flower. Join the flowers with a few slip stitches on top of the flower to the chain.

You can crochet as many flowers as you like depending on how long you want the garland. 

The one I made is around 2 feet.  And I crocheted  8  flowers. 

To hang the garland up you can use tape or tie it to something using the crochet chain.

NOTES:

If you use yarn, you have to use a bigger crochet hook and your flowers will be bigger. But your garland will be just as cute! 

This can be used as decor for a child’s room year-round.

Easiest felt flower tutorial

Felt flower diy

I love DIY and wanted to share this DIY felt flower tutorial with all of you, I call this the easiest felt flower tutorial because it really is! Just read on to find out why!

Felt flowers are so easy to make and can make great home decor. Felt comes in lots of beautiful colors, it is very inexpensive also. In Walmart, it is available for 33 cents a sheet. I’m sure if you buy it in bulk, you can get it even cheaper. 

You can find felt sheets in any craft store. Amazon also has a wide variety of colors in felt. I love working with felt, it’s soft and can be made into so many beautiful and useful things.

There are many different kinds of flowers that you can make using felt. And all of them are gorgeous! I just chose the easiest one to share.

These are easy enough for kids to make, provided they are old enough to handle a hot glue gun. I am guessing that fabric glue could be used too but I have not tried. Please do let me know if you have tried and it worked for you. 

Make them in any color and even different sizes. I love these because they can be used to make beautiful wreaths, if you add a stem you can use them in flower vases. I just gathered sticks from my backyard and used them as stems.

Supplies needed for the felt flower DIY:

Felt in different colors

Scissors 

Hot glue glue

If you are adding stems, you could just gather some sticks from your garden as I did! 

Other options that would work are floral wire or pipe cleaners. 

How do you make them? 

  1. Cut out rectangular shapes from your felt sheet. Small rectangles will yield small flowers, bigger rectangles will yield bigger flowers. 

     2. Fold the rectangle in half lengthwise. Using the glue gun, glue down the open side of the rectangle. 

     3. Using scissors cut lines at regular intervals on the folded side but do not cut all the way, leave about 1/2 inch on the other side.

    4. From one side, start rolling your rectangle gluing as you go. 

    5. To attach the stem, glue it as you start rolling in the above step. Or you could just add some glue on one end of the stick/pipe cleaner/wire and stick it in the base of the flower.

Notes

If you do not use a stem, glue your roses onto your wreath, picture frame, or whatever you make. 

That’s it! Easy and beautiful!
