Teeny Tiny

So I recently became obsessed with making things like bookmarks, and that brought me to other very small projects.  At the store I happened to pass the embroidery thread on my way to the yarn and had an epiphany ... 30 cents or less per color of thread, and I'm sure I could probably find a steal at the local second hand stores.  I'm even tempted to see if my mom still has a stash, lol.  Anyway, these cutesy little flowers I came up with.  I am thinking they would make cute barrettes, motifs, maybe even an embellishment for a book thong.  I'm thinking when I get some pinks I'll attach them to some baby girl headbands.

Here's a picture in my hand to give an idea of the size.

So here's how I did it.

3 colors of embroidery thread (I can't find the exact colors, but its a light green, dark purple, and bright blue)
Size E crochet hook

Small Flower

Round 1 - Chain 2, 6 sc in 2nd chain from hook.  Slip stitch into the first chain, makes a ring.
Round 2 - (Chain 3, dc, chain 3, slip stitch into the same stitch) slip stitch into the next stitch and repeat ( ) 5 times until you have a total of 6 petals.
Finish off leaving a few inches of tail.

Large Flower

Round 1 - Chain 2, 6 sc in 2nd stitch from hook.  Slip stitch into the first chain, makes a ring.
Round 2 - (Chain 4,  2 tr, chain 4, slip stitch into the same stitch) slip stitch in the next stitch and repeat ( ) 5 times until you have a total of 6 petals.
Finish off using a few inches of tail.

Leaf

Chain 9
Sc in 2nd chain from hook, hdc in next chain, dc in the next 3 chains, hdc in next chain, sc in next 2 ch.  Pivot work to use the "bottom" of the foundation chain.  Chain 1, sc in next 2 ch, hdc in the next chain, dc in the next 3 chains, hdc in the next chain, sc in last chain and slip stitch to the first sc to join.
Finish off leaving a few inches of tail.

Assembly

Don't weave in any ends, as they can be used to sew the project together.

I started by placing the pieces how I wanted to assemble, then taking the tail from the leaf and drawing it up through the center of my purple (larger) flower and tied a few knots with the two ends to secure them.  Using the leaf's thread carefully sew using the back stitches of the larger flower and front stitches of the leaf just enough to secure the leaf from flopping back.  Weave in that end and cut.

Using the larger flower's thread, carefully sew the back of the smaller flower's center to the front of the purple flower's center.  Weave in end and cut.

Check and make sure things are well sewn together, the petals are loose, but make sure the center of the flowers and leave are secure.  If not, use the smaller flower's tail to tighten up.  Weave in final tail and cut.

I should be getting to bed, but When I make some more of these I'll take some pictures showing how I assembled to try to make it more clear.
