Schmuckleinwand mit gehäkelten Blüten und Blättern

This instruction combines painting on canvas with crocheting of enchanting flowers. With a little bit of skill you can create in no time at all a noble decorative canvas with especially vivid flowers.

Here's how it works

Preparation of the decorative canvas First prime the decorative canvas with a Paint sponge ivory primer, then add accents in long strokes with Old Pink and moss green.

Crochet flowers
Crochet flowers with the two red cotton yarns, cast on 26 air stitches (LM)
1. Row: 1 dc, then crochet 2 crochet sticks (tr) in each dc -> 52 tr
2. Row: 3 loops, 1 fixed stitch (fM) in the 4th tr in the front row. Crochet 13 bows in this way
3. Row: Crochet 1 dc, 3 tr, 1 dc in the first three sl st bows. Crochet in the remaining bows: 1 dc, 1 tr, 3 double tr, 1 tr, 1 dc
Pull the thread through the last loop, cut and hide it. Bend 5 pistils per flower in the middle and place them at the end with the smaller petals. Roll up the crocheted flower and sew together with the starting thread. Also pierce through the loop of the pistils.

Crochet leaves
From the green Cotton yarn crochet leaves in different sizes 13 LM crochet. Crochet on ch: 1 dc, 3 dc, 3 tr, 1 double tr, 3 double tr in next ch, 1 double tr, 1 tr, 1 dc Turn the piece and crochet back in the same way on the other side of ch-Chain . Pull the thread through the last loop, cut it off and stitch both threads together. Crochet the small leaves over 9 ch: 1 dc, 3 dc, 1 half tr, 3 tr in 1 dc, 1 half tr, 1 dc, turn over and crochet back.

Canvas painting
Draw a tendril on the canvas with the Strich-Ex pencil and paint it with a fine brush in brown and moss green. The two colours can also be lightened with Ivory . Emphasize single edges more brown.

Completion
Arrange the flowers and leaves along the vine and fix them with hot glue. Attach the finished decorative canvas to the decorative hanger. Knot long satin ribbons on the right side of the decoration hanger and thread on single wax beads. To do this, push a loop of thin wire or nylon thread through the hole and pull the Satin ribbon with this loop through the Pearl . At last tie a small loop at the deco hanger.
