The Jewelry Flowers pattern gives you five different flower motifs that can be used to make earrings, necklaces, brooches, keychains, flower wreaths, appliques for bags and clothes etcetera. The flowers are made with cotton lace yarn to keep the size small and also to make them more firm. Mix and match your favorites and play with colors!
If you need ear hooks for your project I have six different kinds (all handmade) in my Etsy Shop, from small to big, made with brass, steel or sterling silver.
Following motifs are included in this pattern: Star flower, Cherry flower, Dahlia flower, Passion flower and Wind flower. The Passion flower can be made with or without seed beads, the pattern describes both ways to make it.
