A Crochet Bouquet That Never Wilts

Tulips, roses, daisies and lavender you can make yourself.

What you need

Cotton yarn in two or three flower colours plus green, a hook, floral wire, floral tape, pliers and kraft paper.

Step 1: Crochet the tulips

Each tulip is a small cup of single crochet with three pointed petal tips, lightly stuffed to hold its shape.

Step 2: Add the stems

Cut wire 25 to 30 cm long, bend the top into a small loop, attach the flower and wrap the stem in green.

Step 3: Arrange it like a florist

Start with the largest flower in the centre and add the others around it, turning the bunch as you go.

Step 4: Wrap it or use a vase

Fold kraft paper into a cone and tie it with twine, or stand the bouquet in a vase with a little rice.
