I have a little basket into which I throw my less than perfect blooms or those which I do not use on my finished projects.
Every now and then I will empty the basket and layer up the blooms to make a selection of "interesting" flowers!! Just layer them from the biggest bloom up to the smallest and join them with an embroidery needle and some yarn!
For the first bloom I layered three different "flowers":
First 4 rows of my STARFLOWER MANDALA
A LITTLE WILDFLOWER
and a TEENY TINY STAR
For the second bloom I layered two different flowers:
A LITTLE WILDFLOWER
and two CHAIN LOOP DAISIES (you can vary the sizes of the chain loop daisy by crocheting more or less chains on each petal!)
Layer up whatever flower-like pieces you have made - add a button or a bead and VOILA!!!
