At all times, flowers have been recognized as the best decorative element in clothing and interior design; unfortunately, the beauty of living bouquets is short-lived. Knitted flowers can be an excellent alternative to fresh flowers, because with the help of a hook, thread and skillful hands you can create almost exact copies of them. Crocheting flowers is not that difficult, so novice needlewomen can quickly master simple patterns and begin creating the most beautiful buds.

The crochet technique involves making flowers of various shapes and sizes. Volumetric flowers can be knitted from several tiers of different diameters. From the semicircular petals located around the center, you can knit simple flowers with five petals.
Petals with sharp corners make daffodils, elongated petals make daisies or lilies, and narrow petals make carnations. Small cups are suitable for making lily of the valley or bells, and wide petals make orchids and poppies. You can make tulips from oval petals.
Flowers knitted like a ruffle look beautiful, when in each row the number of loops is significantly increased and the petal goes in a wave; if you gather such petals tightly from below, you will get a real carnation; it’s easy to assemble a rose from straight lace.

Blue poppy flower, master class!
Blue poppies are not exactly poppies, but their relatives, meconopsis. I hit the color scheme pretty accurately, but with the leaves I was very wrong. They shouldn't be so cut up. I didn't bandage it. For the stamens, this time instead of semolina I used glitter powder purchased at a nail design store. It turned out well, but according to the idea, the stamen filaments should have been lighter than the pollen. However, impregnation of the thread with PVA changed its color exactly to the shade that the powder has.

Flowers from egg trays
Egg trays are one of the waste materials for handicrafts. Usually, egg containers are thrown into the trash, not knowing what beauty can be created from them! Hand-made flowers from egg trays will decorate your home interior, photo frames, wreaths, mirrors, etc.
To make these flowers you will need:
- egg trays (cardboard and plastic can be used);
- brush and paint (gouache, acrylic);
- scissors;
- glue;
- wire.
We cut the egg tray into separate sections, after which we form each section with scissors. The height of such blanks may vary. We paint the resulting petals with paint, preferably in two layers. Further, depending on the type of flower you are making, one blank can be inserted into another, forming a bud. We fix the elements of the resulting flower with glue.
The materials and process of creating flowers from egg trays are discussed in detail in MK Handicraft Masterpieces:
We bring to your attention the most common types of flowers from egg trays. But remember that you can come up with the flower shape yourself!
The frame of the summer wreath is also made from egg trays. A similar one can be decorated with daisies, cornflowers or pansies.
You can even make a small floral masterpiece from plastic egg trays!
For example, snow-white roses from plastic containers in combination with pearls and decorative gypsophila form such a delicate bouquet.
Decorative moss or fern, as well as red ribbons and beads will add brightness and festiveness to a Christmas wreath made of plastic roses.
A personalized flower on the table will please a colleague or your loved ones:

DIY Gifts and Crafts Ideas offers a tutorial on how to create a bright spring one from disposable spoons:
You can create a spring flowerbed from white spoons, drinking straws, plasticine and colored paper. We connect the petals (white spoons) and stems (drink tubes) of snowdrops to each other using ordinary green plasticine. We cut out snowdrop leaves from colored paper. We make yellow ones from plasticine.
Using thermal treatment (lighter flame, candle), spoons can be melted and deformed into a petal of the desired shape. After this, paint the petals in a suitable color and assemble. It is convenient to use spray paint. Such flowers can even be used in making.
Using the same principle, you can make one like this. You can learn all the secrets of its manufacture in the master class.

Bouquet of threads for knitting in a basket step by step
The beginning of a flower
To make a medium flower, you need to use a wool thread about 45 cm long. The length may vary depending on the desired size of the finished flower. Start the spiral by placing the yarn between two fingers as shown in the photo.
Coiling the spiral
Using a felting needle, carefully insert it into the inside of the spiral. Carefully! Do not bend the needle, otherwise it may break. Take care of your fingers!
Try to roll the spiral tightly as you insert and remove the felting needle. All the time you will hear a specific sound when you remove the needle. That's how it should be. These fibers will adhere to each other. That is, you need to ensure that the spiral arcs hold tightly to each other and do not unravel, even if you do not hold the spiral with your hands.
Continue in this manner, holding the spiral with your fingers and fastening it with a needle until the flower reaches the desired size.
Completing the spiral
When you have a flower of the required size, use the needle in the same way as in the previous steps, the only difference being that you will need to thread the entire flower to the center, holding the fibers together. Pass the needle around the entire spiral again. Do not allow the needle to go through, this will leave a mark on the outside of the flower. To secure the tail of the thread, bring it to the back of the product and secure with a felt needle. Be careful not to pierce the flower through. Use a needle to give the flower a neat shape. When you complete the work, you will get a spiral that will not unravel and will look like a single whole.
Decorations using a flower
- Hair accessory: Sew the flower securely onto the elastic.
- Hair Clip: Use glue to stick the flower to the bobby pin.
- Brooch: thread a flower made of wool thread onto a pin.
- Button: Use green felt to make a button. Place a flower on top of the leaf and sew it on.
- Can be used as a button or sewn onto clothing as a decoration.
Our amazing flowers made of woolen threads are ready! We hope that you liked our idea and you will be happy to use such flowers to decorate your clothes or hair. Or maybe you’ll find a completely different use for them.

Yarn bouquet
Bouquets made from balls of yarn are a new fashionable type of needlework. Girls make such souvenirs for photo shoots, as gifts for friends, and some needlewomen even get married with such an original bouquet in their hands.
Let's look at how to make a bouquet of yarn with your own hands. Such a cute and original gift will be a real surprise for the New Year, March 8, or the birthday of your needlewoman friend.
Master class No. 1: Bouquet of yarn “Mimosa”
To make a bouquet of skeins that resembles a spring mimosa, you will need:
- Yellow acrylic yarn;
- Thin wire for beads;
- Floor tape;
- A coarse-tooth fork and a little patience.
We wind the thread onto the fork (10-15 turns), and secure the winding exactly in the middle with wire. We remove the workpiece, cut the threads along the edges and get a small fluffy pompom. We carefully twist the wire into a thin stem.
We collect the finished stamens (15-20 pieces) into a composition. We start with three balls, collect them in a bouquet and secure them with floral tape.
Gradually adding stamens, we create a long fluffy twig. If you make such a bouquet of multi-colored mimosas, you will get a gorgeous gift for your mother or grandmother.
Any novice craftsman can handle creating a spring bouquet “Mimosa” from yarn and wire.
Master class No. 2: Bouquet of yarn “Ladybug”
This is a festive and at the same time practical gift for a knitting lover. To make such a cute bouquet, you need simple details - multi-colored balls of woolen threads, linen fabric or burlap, plastic fasteners for balloons, compressed paper for leaves.
Let's assemble a bouquet in three steps:
- We cut the flax or bag into strips 5-7 cm wide, pass a needle and thread along the edge of the strip to tighten the fabric and create a soft cup. The edges of the materials are terry, creating the effect of a real flower.
- We place the balls in plastic balloon funnels and secure them with our own thread. We insert the plastic stem into the fastener, place the structure in a fabric cup, and secure it again with thread.
- We collect ready-made “flowers” into a bouquet, add leaves from compressed paper, decorate with any wrapper and place the main accent on the leaf - a cute ladybug.
A bright bouquet of multi-colored yarn is ready. For greater practicality, you can insert knitting needles or a crochet hook into the composition.
Master class No. 3: Bouquet of yarn “New Year’s boom”
In the winter cold, warm bouquets made of wool are especially relevant. Here is a short list of what you can use to assemble a gift composition for the New Year:
- Balls in pleasant New Year's colors;
- Spruce branches;
- Multi-colored balls;
- Artificial cotton;
- Beads on legs, fluffy stamens;
- Basket as a base.
It is better to decorate the bouquet basket in advance with knitted fabric or corrugated paper, and place polystyrene foam cut to shape inside.
Next, place the skeins on skewers. To prevent wooden sticks from jumping out of the balls, there is one little secret. First, you need to put a ball of foil on the tip of the skewer.
After placing all the balls in the basket, we begin to fill the empty space. Here you can use your imagination and tastefully decorate the bouquet. The same skewers or plastic tubes help; it’s easy to put New Year’s balls on them. Next come smaller details - twigs, cotton, stamens and beads.
A New Year's bouquet can be assembled in literally half an hour and is quite inexpensive. Such a gift will please both a man and a woman. It exudes warmth, festive mood and home comfort.
Tips for using yarn bouquets
Gift compositions made from threads delight the eye with aesthetics and never fade. These timeless bouquets can be stored on a shelf for a long time, and then used to create handicrafts.
How to use yarn bouquets? Here are some practical tips:
- Give such a basket to a novice craftswoman; together with a knitting kit, you will get a very practical gift.
- Create a large bouquet of yarn and present it to your mother, sister, or colleague on March 8th.
- Please your grandmother on her anniversary, let her have a supply of yarn for new creative ideas.
- Yarn bouquets will decorate any room and become a bright accent during a holiday photo shoot.
Almost all types of yarn are used to create compositions. Lint-free acrylic balls give clear lines and regular shapes, angora skeins form soft inflorescences, and fluffy chrysanthemums are easy to make from shaggy mohair wool.
Fantasy is limitless! Take notes and create your own creative bouquets with your own hands!

...or make this wreath decoration for the door:
There is a universal technique for creating flowers from burlap. In this case, the burlap is glued onto the finished frame of wire petals.
First, the burlap is coated with PVA glue.
After drying, the fabric will become harder and more convenient to take any shape.
We prepare a frame of flower petals from wire, wrap the wire with colored adhesive tape.
The resulting petals are placed on glued pieces of fabric and once again treated with glue on top.
The workpiece must be allowed to dry in this form for 1 day. Next, we cut out the resulting petals along the contour of the wire so that the edges are perfectly even. We bend the cut out elements of the flower in the desired direction and form a flower.
Snowflake
In winter, on New Year's Eve, a snowflake made using the contour technique will decorate and transform the room. This means that you do not need to completely fill the space, but only the contours.
Having examined various photos of appliqués made from threads, you can see that this method visually highlights individual parts and emphasizes special elements.
Progress:
- A template of a large, clearly drawn snowflake is used. If it is not there, then you can draw it yourself.
- Tracing paper is placed on top and secured with pins.
- The tracing paper is lubricated with a thin layer of vegetable oil.
- White threads are cut into pieces of 10-12 centimeters.
- Each one is moistened in liquid glue and drawn from the edge of the snowflake to its middle according to the drawn sketch. In this case, several loops are made around the pins.
- In this way all the rays are covered.
- When the image is completely hidden under the threads, the craft remains in a dry place until it dries completely.
- After secure fastening, the pins and then the snowflake itself are removed.
- Such a product can be hung on a Christmas tree, decorated with a doorway, or decorated with a New Year's card or applique.
We use cardboard
Such beautiful thread flowers are made using the same principle as crafts created with a fork. At the same time, the process of creating buds is completely safe for children, since no sharp objects are used in the work. Making such a flower is very simple.
- The first step is to select a piece of cardboard of suitable length and width.
- Red yarn is wound on it. The more threads are used, the more voluminous the finished bud looks.
- After this, all the coils must be removed from the cardboard base.
- Next, this skein needs to be pulled in the middle with thread.
- After this, you can begin to form the bud. The edges of the skein on both sides must be cut with sharp scissors.
- To create a stem, you need to select several sticks of suitable length.
- The buds should be slightly fluffed and attached to the branches. The best way to do this is to use a glue gun. The base of the stem can be decorated with green thread if desired.
You need to assemble a beautiful bouquet from ready-made flowers. You can decorate it with branches of living plants. The composition will turn out beautiful and realistic.

deciduous tree
Autumn designs for children often include nature with colorful leaves. After all, at this time it is especially beautiful, precisely thanks to the abundance of colors.
Therefore, a tree on a craft looks more interesting not only with green leaves, but also with yellow and red ones.
Process of creation:
- The trunk of the future tree is drawn on a brown sheet of paper, cut out and glued to a cardboard base.
- Yarn of various shades of red, yellow and green is cut into small pieces and mixed.
- The branches of the tree are smeared with PVA glue and the workpieces are evenly distributed onto it.
- In addition to the picture, you can glue the sun, clouds, grass, birds and animals cut out of cardboard.
Application – dandelion
One of the most common themes for children's crafts is flowers. After all, any Women’s Day is accompanied by them. But it doesn’t have to be roses or orchids; it can also be the most common weed - dandelion. Outwardly, he looks like a small radiant sun.
In the following master class you can learn how to make it yourself:
- A thick white sheet is used as a basis. For an unusual background, spraying is used. To do this, you need an ordinary toothbrush, which is dipped into watercolor paint of any color and, by running your finger over the bristles, sprays.
- Dandelion leaves are required. It’s good if you have a herbarium in stock, but if not, it doesn’t matter. They can be drawn on green paper and cut out.
- Green woolen threads are cut into pieces up to a centimeter each.
- Cut threads are glued to the prepared leaves.
- Strips that will serve as stems are cut out of green paper and glued to the prepared background.
- The resulting leaves are glued to the lower part of the stems, and the bases of the buds are formed from previously cut green threads at the upper part.
- To make buds, you need to take a piece of paper, fold it several times and wind a yellow woolen thread on top in one direction. Then carefully remove from the paper and tie tightly with the tip of the thread in the middle. The rounded threads on the sides are cut in the middle and fluffed.
- You need to create as many such buds as there are glued stems.
- Finally, all that remains is to attach the buds in place.
- Beautiful application is ready!
