I love to crochet flowers
and leaves but I tend to have not many ideas about what to do with them...so one
way in which I use them is to make Flower Brooches using crochet designs and
hot glue.
You will need:
- · hot glue gun
- · hot glue sticks
- · fabric paint
- · mini paint palette
- · Mini paintbrush
- · 8 ply wool
- · computer with internet connection
- · 7 mm crochet hook
- · Brooch back findings
