She holds a surprisingly realistic-looking bouquet of daisies in her hand. The arms and legs are crocheted around chenille wire, so you can bend them any way you like.

Scrap Flowers are always useful ♥

Use them as a brooch, for a headband, jazz up your shoes or your bag. Embellish gifts or letters, use them as bag charms or keychains! The possibilities are (almost) endless ♥

Here, leftover cotton yarn was used (Catania - 10 g per flower) with a 2.5 mm crochet hook. The flower then has a diameter of about 7 cm.
But basically, any leftover yarn can be used with the appropriate crochet hook
- the flowers will simply turn out smaller or larger (then
the button must of course be larger too).
