Making a Beautiful Floral Bowl

Are you looking for a creative and unique way to decorate your home? In this video tutorial, we will guide you through the process of making a stunning floral bowl. This DIY project is not only fun and engaging but also a great way to add a personalized touch to your home decor.

Making the Bowl

Before we jump into making the flower, let's quickly recap how to make the bowl itself. If you haven't already, make sure to check out our previous video tutorial on how to create the bowl. Once you have the bowl ready, we can move on to the next step.

Covering up Imperfections

While creating the bowl, you may have encountered some imperfections or a not-so-appealing finish. Don't worry! We have a simple solution for that. To cover up any imperfections or undesirable finishes, we will be attaching a beautiful flower to the bowl. This accessory will not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also add a touch of elegance to the bowl.

Making the Flower

To create the flower, you will need a few basic materials. Start with a slip knot using color 3, as it brings out the best results in the given cotton. Chain four and create a circle by making a slip stitch. Follow this with a chain and single crochet into the circle.

Next, chain three and repeat the process of single crocheting into the circle, followed by chaining three. Repeat this step until you have a total of five petals around the circle. Each petal consists of three chains and a single crochet into the circle.

Once all the petals are complete, do a slip stitch into the first petal's chain to secure it. Congratulations! You have successfully made a lovely flower using color 3.

Using the Second Color

Now, let's move on to the second color, which will add depth and contrast to the flower. Attach the second color by entering the circle from the back and pulling the thread up. Make sure to leave a small tail for easy weaving later. Create a slip stitch and chain four.

Continue this pattern by making a slip stitch and chain four in each opening around the flower. These loops will serve as the foundation for the petals or leaves we will be adding later. Once you have completed the round, join it by making a slip stitch into the first chain.

Making the Petals

With the foundation loops in place, it's time to create the petals. Enter the chain space and start by doing a single crochet, followed by a half-double crochet, double crochet, and two treble crochets. Yarn over twice for each treble crochet. Then, create a picot by chaining three and make a slip stitch into the first chain.

Complete the petal by doing two more sets of triple crochets, a double crochet, a half-double crochet, and a single crochet. Repeat this pattern for each petal, adjusting the stitches to create a symmetrical shape. Once all the petals are done, join them by making a slip stitch into the first petal.

Attaching the Flower to the Bowl

Now that you have completed the flower, it's time to attach it to the bowl. As we intentionally made the ends slightly longer, these ends will be used to secure the flower to the bowl. Using a needle, sew the flower onto the bowl, ensuring that it lays flat against the surface. This will give the illusion of a seamless connection between the flower and the bowl.

Sew each end onto the bowl by alternating between picking up stitches from the flower and the bowl itself. This will ensure a secure attachment while maintaining a visually appealing presentation. Once you have sewn all the ends, make sure to cut off any excess thread, tucking it away neatly.

Final Touches and Usage Ideas

Congratulations! You have successfully created a beautiful floral bowl. Now it's time to add the final touches and explore various usage ideas. You can fill the bowl with chocolates, biscuits, or other homemade treats to create a lovely gift. Alternatively, you can use it to store jewelry, makeup, or other small items.

This handmade creation not only adds a personal touch to your home but also serves as a thoughtful and unique gift option. The recipient is sure to appreciate the effort and love put into making this beautiful floral bowl.
