Crochet maintenance

Crochet accessories are not only elegant they also lasts longer. Its easy to maintain, washable and are durable. The accessories like clips, scrunchies, applique if comes off, can be sewn back and it retains the same look as new.

Clips - crochet applique is pasted on the clip and once the gum dries and crochet is fixed on clip, fix a neatly cut felt cloth at the back to hold the clip strong.
On washing/soaking in water  the felt cloth comes off, sometimes even the crochet applique comes off. Hence the wash should be delicate to just cleanse the dirt on applique and do not let the water wet the gum and felt cloth.













Scrunchies- Many a times the scrunchies spoils after few usage, either gets loosened or breaks. The attached crochet applique can be taken out and sewn back on new scrunchies.



Applique- Crochet applique can be used on dresses. If dress gets old or torn, the crochet applique can be taken out an sewn on or used as applique for slippers, bags etc.
