Crochet flower appliqués are one of my favorite ways to add a simple, customizable touch to everyday projects—especially when it comes to crochet flower appliqués on towel holders. With just one small detail, you can completely change the look to match the season, your home décor, or your personal style.
All three of my crochet flower appliqué patterns are now available, and they were designed to work as an interchangeable system. Each flower easily attaches around the button on my towel holder patterns, so you can switch them out in seconds—no need to make a new holder every time you want a change.
In this post, I’ll show you exactly how to use crochet flower appliqués on towel holders, plus 6 bonus ideas for using them in other projects like bags, garland, and more.
