Crochet Rose Ideas


I thought I'd share some ways to use the rose from the necklace tutorial.
I'm sure you already have some awesome creative ways to use them but...here's a few more :)

I attached this pale pink rose to a non slip barrette by sewing it on using the same crochet thread.

I simply opened the barrette and placed it on the back of the rose and stitched along the sides of the barrette. You could glue the barrette to the rose if you don't want to sew it.
If you are going to sell this item, you may want to cover the stitching with felt or some other type of material.

I attached this dark pink rose to a clip. 
Again, I just stitched the clip to the back of the rose.
You can clip this to a tie, scarf, tote, purse or to anything that needs a splash of color.

I attached a pin back to this purple rose. Exactly like I did in the tutorial.
Leave it like this or cover the pin back with material.
I think for my next tutorial I will show you how to dress up this pin. 

Lastly, I attached 3 roses to a long barrette.
Open the barrette and stitch each rose to the front of the barrette.
I think this would be lovely with all white roses and embellished with crystals, pearl sprays and baby's breath.
It would be perfect for a wedding accessory.
