Tulip inspired decorative crochet flower! Use them in a bouquet, or in a planter for cute decor.

I used “cherry red” yarn for the petals; and “spring green” yarn for the stem and leaves, both from Red Heart brand. But you can use whatever color you like.
I also used a thinner yarn I made, by splitting apart the red yarn, to make the inner petals of my flower. You don’t have to do this, but I think using the thinner yarn just looks better, and that’s the best way to make sure the colors are a perfect match. If you prefer, use crochet thread instead for that part.

I also used 30 gauge craft wire to support the stem and leaves.
