Well, I used to crochet when I was younger with no kids. And recently I've noticed that crochet flowers are used on Scrapbook pages and cards. What was kind of surprising for me that they are actually sold and not that cheap at all. So I thought why don't I give it a try and see what they look like if I make my own. When started I could not stop.
I have to say thanks to You Tube once again as the instructions I can find online are not good for me, I don't understand all these stitches' explanations, I used diagrams all the time. Watching a video is so simple and pausing it when I need time to finish stitches and counting.
Here are some videos I watched.

There are many more.
And here are some flowers that I made.
Thanks for the links to you tube. I crochet but have never made flowers and know I could. I too am wanting to incoporate them into my cards and layouts.
