Plate Decor with Puff Flowers

Fig 1

Hello friends,
In crochet, Puff flowers are so cute and have variety of uses. Here I have one more plate decor (meherap) see fig 1, I made with puff flowers. In India and particularly in Maharashtra there is a tradition of drawing rangoli about the lunch or dinner plate when some one special is invited. Now due to busy schedule it is not possible many times so these crochet plate decors will be very useful in that case.

Some more uses of puff flowers are in for patch work on sweater, decorate photo frame, Hair clips and one more plate decor. For these photos please read my post,

Delebrately we kept some space vaccent or we can say with less leaves because there we can place our puff flowers. See fig 6.
