Pattern Description:

If you liked my 2-D Cinquefoil Tatted Flower, you'll LOVE making this 3-D flower corsage! You can glue or stitch it to bobby pins, hair clips, brooch pins, even ring blanks, you name it, and it's an instant one-of-a-kind decoration!

This 2-layer flower is completely tatted together, no sewing required after it's complete aside from hiding ends. I'm really proud of figuring out this anchoring technique and I think you'll be thrilled to learn it! You can take this technique and apply it to other patterns to create fun 3-D designs.

The bottom layer is reminiscent of metal filigree. I find it really inspirational, I hope you do too!

*Note to shuttle tatters: Please let me know any corrections or hints you'd like me to add to this pattern. I'm not a shuttle tatter, so I would really love any help - and I will certainly credit your help in any revised editions of this pattern!
