My beloved friends, Anastasia and Dimitrios, celebrated their civil marriage this weekend. I made a special gift for their planned trip to Paris: I took the instructions for a rose brooch by Daniela Herbertz, and then I made seven roses and attached them on a basket.
Inside I put a box with a little bit of spending money for their trip – and the result you can see here:
Here is the pattern for the roses /Raverlry: Rose brooch
How I made the roses
I took a hairpin and a pipe cleaner,
and wrapped it around the hairpin (you can also take a pearl),
and then I wrapped the crocheted rose around it. I sew the rose firmly so it will not be able to move or open up later.
This is how it looks like from below:
And this is the finished rose:
There is only one happiness in life,
to love and be loved.
George Sands (1804 – 1876)
May your future be blessed with love and happiness!
What a great idea! Roses are beautiful and this tip with the pin is awesome.
Thank you for your nice comment, dear Vanja. I also love roses and when I put them on the basket, they looked so good. I was so happy to give them a special gift, I have made with my hands.
Something was wrong with the link when I was here last time and couldn’t like the post, so waited for all to settle in order to return 😀
Thank you for your comment. I have fixed it and everything should work now. Best regards and happy crocheting!
