Crochet Trim Flowers

Good day, Stashers!  Shellye here with a very easy way to create some simple flowers using crochet trim.

I have used the VINTAGE VOGUE trims by Collage Press/Pink Paislee in making these.  In this pack there are three different colors of trim and each are 1 yard each.

First, cut a 12" strip of trim.

Thread an embroidery needle with a thick floss, crochet thread or baker's twine (you won't see it, so color doesn't matter much).

 

I simply followed the natural loop of the trim to guide my needle and thread through.

Once you've threaded the entire length of the trim, gently pull the thread until a desired scallop is formed.

Tuck the top thread back through to the back of the scallop and then tie off and cut excess thread.

 Here is a sample of the final flower.  I also dabbed just a little no-fray to the ends.  You may add large brads, rhinestones, pearls or any round accent to complete the center.

Enjoy!
