Plan your design and determine the quantities and colors of each butterfly, flower & leaf you need for your project.

For Photo Frame:Cut burlap or hemp cloth and fringe the edges by removing a few warps’ and wefts’ thread.Position the flowers and leafs, secure them with pin.Sew or glue them with hot glue. I prefer sew because the burlap could be too weak to hold the flower in place with glue.

Tie a ribbon and sew it on the “stems” of the flowers and leafs.position & glue the motif on the felt or photo’s plastic cover or on the frame of your photo frame.If you want to put photo in the frame, position the motif away from the main display area so that it won’t block your beautiful photo. Glue some butterflies and flowers to decorate.

For Clothes Pin & Hair Clips:Make a knot on the yarn tails at the back of the crochet flower, trim away the excess yarn but not too near to the knot. Glue the flower on the clothes pin with hot glue.Do the same to hair clip, hair barrette, bobby pin, hair claw, hair band, bun holder etc…

For Flower Bouquet Brooch:Crochet 8 flowers, sew them together from behind and minimize the appearance of stitches in front. Use similar sewing thread color to camouflage the stitches within the bouquet just in case they did showed up on the front.Take 2 yarns from behind to the front and tie a knot to secure the “stems” in place just like a flower bouquet.

A brooch pin and a small piece of felt enough to cover the back of the pin.

Sew brooch pin to the back of the flower bouquet, again, try not to show any stitches in front.

Cover the back of the brooch pin with a small piece of felt either by gluing or by sewing along the edges.
