Try attaching crochet flowers to hair clips and bobby pins. Do this with some of the smaller ones that you have made with size 10 thread or embroidery thread. Darling!

Jazz up a plain purse by attaching flowers to the handle, or around the top of the purse. Even one nicely placed crochet flower will make all the difference between a blah bag and a stylish one.

Buy a cheap scarf and attach crochet flowers to it. You can scatter them randomly, or take a more systematic approach. If you have a lot of crochet flowers, try sewing them together at the edges to make a scarf that is made entirely of crochet flowers!

Add a crochet flower to a choker necklace. Put a pin on the back of one and you have a broach. Try attaching one to a knit hat.

Attach crochet flowers to your dog's collar when you want to fancy her up a bit. Make sure they are attached well, and that your dog doesn't scratch in that area. You can also sew them to a dog's leash--so cute!

Tips & Warnings
Consider getting motif crochet patterns as well as crochet flower patterns. You will find flowers in the middle of many motifs. All you have to do is begin to crochet the motif, and then finish when you complete the flower portion.
Be careful washing your crochet flowers. Handwash in cold water!
