Crochet wreath to celebrate 100 years of independence

This year Finland has been an independent country for 100 years. To celebrate that, I took blue and white yarn, the colors of the Finnish flag, and made this crochet wreath.

And now it is hanging on our door.

Pink flower wreath

It is Christmas time. So, of course, I felt like making yet another wreath. It is no that Christmas-like, but who cares.

 

It all got started with a heart. I crocheted a band that covers the heart

The color, baby pink felt too sissy, so I took my spray bottle out and did some spraying.

 

I also crocheted little flowers of equal size and sprayed them a little bit as well.

 

I sew all the flowers on the heart one by one

 

and hung the wreath on my door. Now Christmas may come. I'm all set up for the holiday season.

 

 

 

Sweet flower wreath

Spring is in the air (every now and then..). I wanted to welcome spring by making this sweet flower wreath. There are beautiful examples in the web and inspired by many others, I made my own one.

I got started by crocheting these flowers. The pattern I adapted from:
http://prinsessajuttu.blogspot.fi/2013/05/virkattu-kukka-ohje.html

 

Then I made a long light green base where to plant my flowers and sew it together from the backside..

Then I made 10 little leaves following the simple pattern from this blog:

The last phase was to sew the leaves on the wreath in pairs and, then, glue the flowers by using a hot glue gun.

Beautiful and very girly - isn't it! A monochromatic version of this, using only black, white and grey could also be cool. For who could I make one? I need to think.

 

May Christmas come - Draculaura's recycled wreath

I am a Christmas person. I start putting candles, lights and Christmas decoration early in November. My favourite task is to design a wreath ("ovikranssi") to our front door. This year I started the work by crocheting roses ...

... Then I thought I will melt and sew together some nice looking plastic bags (thank You Piia) and covered the wreath with them...

... Finally, I combined the two and added Draculaura in the middle. Now, Christmas and the snow can come!

Few weeks after I made another one for my god daughter and put Robecca in the middle.
