Mother's Day Presents: Flower Pin - Part 1

I hope all the mothers out there had a special Mother's Day. This past week, was spent making presents for my Mom and Mother-in-law. For a while now, I have been wanting to try my hand at making crochet flower pins and this was the perfect occasion.

I found a great crochet flower tutorial from Attic24. She has so many cute ideas and this flower is one of my favorites. Her blog is a must-visit.

Making these pins are super easy. All you need is:

  • a Crocheted Flower
  • a Pin Back by Darice
  • 2 felt circles the size of the back of your flower
  • Needle and Thread
  • a Hot Glue Gun 

    1. After you have crocheted your flower, cut 2 felt circles the size of the flower back.
    2. Stack the 2 felt circles and Sew on the pin back.
    3. Then hot glue the felt to the back of the flower.

See? Super easy! This project has so many possibilities. There are so many types of crocheted flowers out there. Give it a try!
