Description
This crochet tulip flower bundle is a bright little gift for the nan who means the world. Three crocheted tulips, one lilac, one pink and one cream, sit on slender sage-green stems with long leaves. Each petal is worked stitch by stitch so the heads hold their cupped tulip shape. They come mounted on a sunny yellow card with a pale flower pattern and the words "best ever NAN ...if nans were flowers, I'd pick you." The whole bundle measures about 34cm tall, 11cm wide and 4.5cm deep, slim enough to tuck into a gift bag.
It is made with a grandmother in mind, a gift that says thank you, I love you or simply that you were thinking of her. Because the tulips are crocheted rather than cut, they never wilt and never need water, so they can stay out long after a fresh bunch would be gone. Lift them from the card and stand them in a small vase or jug on her windowsill, mantelpiece or bedside table. You could also leave them on the card and prop it on a shelf where the message can be read. Turn the card over and there is a lined panel marked to and from, so you can write your own words before you hand it over.
The stems are threaded through the card and tied at the back with a little twine, and a small pink tag hangs at the front. The petals and leaves have the soft, textured look of crochet. To keep them looking fresh, dust them with a soft dry cloth or give them a gentle shake. Keep them away from damp and strong sunlight so the colours stay bright. For gifting, write your message on the back, slip the bundle into a slim gift bag or wrap it in brown paper, and let the words on the front do the rest.
