Crochet Sunflower Drawstring Bag
Making Your Sunflower Bag
-
Start the Flower: Crochet a little brown circle for the middle. Then, use yellow yarn to make puffy “popcorn” stitches for the petals.
-
Make Two Squares: Use green yarn to turn your round flower into a flat square. You’ll need to make two of these.
-
Stitch Together: Put your two squares together. Sew around the sides and the bottom, but leave the top open.
-
Add the Strings: Crochet two long yarn chains. Weave them through the gaps at the top of the bag.
-
The Finish: Just pull both strings at the same time to cinch the bag shut.
