How to Care for Your Crochet Flower Bouquet

June 13, 2025

So, you've received a beautiful handmade crochet flower bouquet. Whether it was a thoughtful gift or something special you chose for yourself, your bouquet is designed to last. While it doesn't need the same upkeep as fresh flowers, a little care will keep it looking bright and beautiful for years to come.

Here are some simple tips to keep your crochet flowers in perfect condition:

1. Dust Lightly and Regularly

Your bouquet won’t wilt, but it can collect dust over time. Use a soft makeup brush or a gentle handheld vacuum on a low setting with a mesh barrier to keep petals clean. You can also give them a gentle shake outdoors to remove loose dust.

2. Keep Them Away from Moisture

Crochet flowers love dry spaces. Avoid placing them in humid rooms like bathrooms or near open windows during rainy weather. This helps prevent yarn from stretching or losing shape.

3. Avoid Direct Sunlight

Just like fabrics and artwork, yarn can fade if it’s exposed to strong sunlight for long periods. To keep your colours looking vibrant, place your bouquet out of direct sun and in a cool, shaded spot.

4. Shape as Needed

Over time, petals or leaves might shift slightly. Gently reshape them with your fingers to keep your arrangement looking full and fresh. Our yarn holds its form well, so only a little adjusting is needed now and then.

5. Store with Care

If you ever need to pack your bouquet away, wrap it in tissue paper and store it in a dry box or container. Avoid crushing it under heavy items to preserve its shape and details.

Crochet flower bouquets are made to last, and with just a little care, they’ll stay just as lovely as the day they arrived.
