DIY Sunflower Crochet Curtain Tiebacks That Are Perfect For Beginners

Curtains add to the overall style of your home, and it's easy to decorate with popular curtain styles. However, what can be a challenge is keeping your curtains tied back when you want to let some sunshine into your home. Luckily, this DIY sunflower crochet curtain tieback is both cute and simple to make! All you need to get started is two buttons, some yarn, a needle, and a 3.5 mm hook.

If you are newer to crocheting this project, it shouldn't be too big of a challenge. When it comes together, the project looks cohesive, yet it is made in three different parts — the flower, the leaves, and the tieback. As long as you know the slip stitch, chain stitch, double crochet stitch, and incomplete double crochet stitch, you can easily create this entire project. If you don't know one of these stitches, do not fear, they are easy to learn and there are many videos online to help you out.

Once you know the stitches, start by creating the center of the flower using a magic ring. You will work in two rounds with the brown yarn, and then switch to the yellow yarn for the petals. After two rounds with the yellow yarn, you will be left with nine petals and a complete sunflower! While you could end the project here and just be left with a beautiful sunflower perfect for using as a coaster or turning into a garland, keep crocheting to create the full design!

There are perfect ways to bring the crochet trend into your home, like Granny Square tiles, or this fun sunflower DIY! Once the flower itself is complete, add leaves to your design. You will start by creating 20 chain stitches and then use the incomplete double chain to create a leaf. The complete pattern is repeated 9 times to create nine leaves. This section is created separately and then stitched to the back of the sunflower using a needle and hiding your stitches.

Finally, the creator crochets the tieback using the same color as the flower's center. They create 25 rows that are 10 double crochet stitches wide. They then created two chain loops on one end, and sewed two buttons on the other to allow you to easily wrap the design around your curtains. Sew the flower to the center of the tieback strip, and your project is complete! Now, this gorgeous sunflower curtain tieback is ready to be used. Repeat the project multiple times to have a cohesive look around your house.

There are many ways to customize this DIY. Start by choosing yarn colors that match your curtains and home décor. Not a fan of sunflowers? Crochet your favorite flower instead. You could even create different tiebacks for different seasons, like a pumpkin or a snowman. If you plan on changing your tiebacks often, consider sewing some Velcro to the tieback strip so you don't have to create a new tieback each time, and instead, you can just switch out the décor flower or item.
