Mother's Day/Teacher's Apprec. Flowers

[bennance]

I got this idea from some postings I saw here. I'm so thankful for the wonderful ideas, help and suggestions I find at Crochetville!

 

I made these for my kids teachers for Teacher's Appreciation week. They're pens.

 

Now I'm off to make some more sets for Mother's Day.

 

 

Hey, I'm a mother...I think I'll make a set for myself!

 

The backing and stem come from PlanetJune's outstanding daffodil pattern: http://www.planetjune.com/blog/free-crochet-patterns/daffodils.

I can't wait to make these!

The daffodil is free from the lion brand website (it's actually called daffodil pencil).

The colorful flower is from: http://patternsbydot.blogspot.com/2005/11/flower-pin.html.

They are beautiful! I think I'm going to make some for an end of the yr teacher gift. How did you make them stay on the pens?

Elmer's Glue. Couldn't think of any other way to do it! I glued the yarn to the pens in a spiral, and glued the flowers on top. I used hot glue to keep the ends of the yarn from sticking out at the bottom of the pen.
