[@adrianaacevedo9049]

you could make a matching bag with the leftover flowers!!

[@sarahdonic4445]

Yes! Exactly what I've been thinking! Would love to see that

[@Ddalgiichigo]

Tote bag would be so cool

[@FirstHandPit0]

I 100% back this idea. Sewing the rest of the flowers onto a canvas totebag would be soooo good!

[@Lazydaisy646]

I was going to suggest that too. I would be amazing.

[@ohaiClemmy]

Yes!!! That's what I was gonna say also!

[@breberea]

Proud to say I made the ✨armpit flower✨

[@courtneygolden]

I was admiring that one!

[@breberea]

@Lilith-qu7ev she posted her PO Box on Insta months ago and asked folks to send her flowers

[@chickadeeacres3864]

LOL! We take our credit where it’s due, even under armpits LOL! It’s cute!

[@sandaramoore9660]

You should be EXTREMELY PROUD of yourself!!! What a collective effort this was…people around the world sending in handmade crochet flowers and you then creating a MASTERPIECE!!! I would definitely contact your local media to run a story on the dress…would also contact someone about records…it’s definitely a one of a kind piece. The world needs to appreciate this dress…absolutely stunning!!! Great job!!! Stay safe and be blessed ❤

[@elenabarskaya7127]

The idea is great. The implementation is terrible. To ruin work of those people who sent those flowers just because she is too lazy to use proper sewing. Nothing to be proud of. I bet if she did those flowers herself, she'd take better care than f'-ing GLUE

[@annabethyeung8512]

@@elenabarskaya7127she DID sew them some though

[@Caityrexx]

@@elenabarskaya7127did you actually watch it? I guess clearly not as she sews each flower at the end 😂

[@elenabarskaya7127]

@@Caityrexx Perhaps your time has no value, so you'd watch anything "till the end". I recognize dunderheads at the beginning and shun them.

[@Lisa_is_an_evil_snail]

@@elenabarskaya7127she says that she’s gonna glue them down and then sew them on right at the beginning of the video. It’s just a smarter technique and there’s nothing wrong with using glue. Dunderhead lol

[@graymayhem2410]

I desperately want you to make a matching bucket hat with the remaining flowers.

[@TeaAndCroissants]

yES! I came to add this comment

[@LCLand]

Desperately. Lol. Cute 😄

[@amytakiguchi4390]

This! I want her to make a bucket hat as well. She could wear it with other outfits. It would be so cute!!!

[@clairebeane3455]

Yep. That or a beanie were my first thought. Couple that with a shoulder clutch and voila!!! She has coordinates like the ladies of the 1960’s!!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@kitkatherine23]

you should make 2 pillow covers/decor pillows! theyd be super cute on your yellow couch!

[@peytoncrist7708]

I had that same idea!!

[@MonicaM1111]

omg yes xx

[@leewhite8355]

Great idea

[@chronicallygill]

That’s literally exactly what I was thinking! It’d look so cool on the couch!

[@DawnOldham]

I love this idea! You could make it whatever size uses all of the flowers!

[@dallybobally7163]

This is ART I was MOVED when you tried it on! From the collective nature of everyone sending in flowers to the construction this is a legit masterpiece! You should be SO PROUD.

[@Livmakesrandomvids]

6:57 the coral flower she touches is oneof the flowers i made!!! Jenna, this is the most awesome project you have ever done!!!

[@strawberrysoymilkshake]

Love that colour 😊

[@shainaariane4334]

this is what we call community art!! Jenna, I hope you submit this to some kind of art show or gallery in your area!

[@Kitty-JuneOhSixJanTwentyFour]

You shouldn't wish in other people's place. This is a precious memory with her subscriber community. What she wants to do with him is no-one else's business or wish.

[@mohal322]

love this :') adding the leftover flowers to a canvas you could hang in your place could be a really nice reminder of how much we all support you!

[@alexiselliott6008]

I was just about to say this!

[@neelalopez3979]

That such a clever idea!!

[@allison.l]

I love this idea!!

[@itshalina]

“I really underestimated how long this was gonna take” - literally the epitome of any handmade craft Also I love how this turned out ❤

[@the1_grammy503]

Beautiful. I can’t imagine how expensive this dress would be if it were in a retail shop. Congratulations on finishing it!

[@AllisonLitch]

OMG I spotted 2 of my flowers 😢❤ The amount of time you put into this is so impressive Jenna 👏

[@ejcostin3070]

Jenna its beautiful! You can make matching dog sweaters with the other flowers ❤

[@ishadrums]

omg i love this idea

[@marianadeboice2659]

My cheeks are sore from smiling this whole time watching your epic journey vid, miss beautiful Jenna! The BEST!

[@marianadeboice2659]

Seriously it’s better than 10/10, Jenna…you rocked it ! Be super proud !!! I LOVE IT ON YOU, ITS BEAUTIFUL!

[@lauraschiesl8845]

that would be so cute to see them all wearing flowers even the dogs

[@Maritzavanrooi]

Yes

[@scofah]

The flowers people contributed are tiny blooming masterpieces. Wow. Beautiful. Whole project AAAA+++++ 10000 Likes!

[@sherryvanrijn5453]

This is the kind of piece that ends up on the cover of Vogue and has a $10,000 price tag! Well done, everyone!

[@HoneyGun]

It would be cute to make a matching choker necklace with the flowers or a matching hair piece.

[@jbwhitebirch6620]

My favorite suggestion!

[@marianadeboice2659]

8 minutes in…Jenna, I am crying! You are really super duper talented . This is going to be in a museum! Extra flowers you say…. A bag? Something for your bed? A shawl?

[@riklangley7]

Manny needs to wear this in every video now, this is immaculate. I love how the sunflower one sticks out at the very bottom

[@Cavendiish]

Yes, I was eying that one too :D

[@PHEONIIX.]

some things you can make with the leftover flowers -a corset -a bag -a top (kind of sort of like the strawberry one you made maybe) -pants (i have made stuff like this before with pants and it looks so cool) -detachable sleeves that match the dress

[@Sizzle4242]

The detachable sleeves are a super good idea!

[@evehenthorn4147]

I’ve been trying to make a jumper out of individual flowers, and I’ve just been hand sewing them together next to each other. It’s been driving my crazy because they all stretch each other out and ruin the shape of the flowers, and the weight of the jumper pulls on the flowers at the top, but I couldn’t think of how else to do it! Thank you so much for posting this because it’s such a better idea! Make a base out of cotton first, then use a machine to sew the flowers to the base! That was the pressure isn’t on the crochet pieces. I’m going to take mine apart and redo it your way, it makes so much more sense!!

[@ginablanshard8255]

yes...but no glue!!!

[@livingcolours773]

Have you done this yet? Very curious!

[@CraftyTash]

Amazing dress Jenna, it deserves to be on a the front cover of a glossy magazine. You are so talented.

[@Teefs]

A matching shawl would be amazing. Given the weight of the dress, a shawl would be appropriate to allow easier wear during cooler weather. Great job! Enjoyed watching the process.

[@pattiefulton4111]

Make a net shawl, and add flowers here and there on the net as if it were a trellis.

[@siuanswan447]

This is what I was thinking too. It'd also help balance out the dress since it's bottom heavy on its own.

[@ginaroche2223]

I feel like you created such a beautiful piece of wearable art, that it should be displayed on the wall on a special display. Its just beautiful.

[@ilariap6061]

The dress is gorgeous, it reminds me of Klimnt's paintings ❤️

[@katjawoell]

Perhaps you can join the rest of the flowers for a shawl or scarf. Your dress is stunning, brillant artwork👍🏻😍

[@chriskiefel7735]

Well, that turned out AMAZING didn't it?!!! 🥰 Wonderful! Maybe you need to make a small jacket or shawl out of the leftover flowers to go with the dress.

[@mels2595]

Yes! I love this idea ❤️

[@relitin]

This is a masterpiece, your magnum opus! I really hope you get to wear this somewhere, because it deserves to be showcased! ✨

[@maanaimak]

It turned out sooo cute! Wel done!🎉 i dare to call it catwalk material!😎 When Spring comes you can do a one woman easter parade😊

[@jennaiii]

You could make a cute little cape to go on top, a little hooded number would look so sweet!

[@maddisonroseoctober3633]

why is this giving me the vision of all white crochet flower wedding dress.... with colorful flowers along the edges of a veil... I'm not even a crochet girlie and you got me out here imagining all different kinds of creations!

[@colleenmcbride3656]

That was my first thought too. I think I may do this!

[@Katiesgotmail]

No girl that’s your masterpiece. I’ve really enjoyed this series and honestly my favorite part of when you were making the lining of the dress and how impressive it’s been to see you put so much effort (into the mannequin and everything too!) thanks for your silly humour and dedication to your craft for our entertainment 🎉

[@ladonnawashington1643]

I watched while I crocheted in rapt attention. You combined three of my all time favorite things: flowers, sewing and crochet. I adore the dress! Thank you to ALL of my fellow crocheters who sent in flowers. That warmed my heart to 400 degrees. Then the time, attention and effort to make the dress (lovely on its own) and then affix the flowers? I am floored. It is stunning! Wear it in good health. I was hearted also by the Granny square blanket on the sofa too. I am making a sweater using, you guessed it the granny square stitch. This whole series was delicious from beginning to end. My sincerest thanks. I am happy for you. Yayyyyyyyyy! Oh and I learned about clear thread and a quilt foot. Score!😊

[@adrianaacevedo9049]

pookie, this is insane you really ate this one 💅

[@margaretstephens6649]

You could make a wedding dress in white, ivory or cream flowers. I love what you have done.

[@bethanydark10]

That is a beautiful idea 😍

[@jesseeeckuh]

10/10 - Seriously this is SO COOL! I had goosebumps seeing you wear it! Such a beautiful piece of art ❤

[@KatyHumm14]

You should make a flower crown with the rest of the flowers and be a fashion forward version of the May Queen from Midsommar for Halloween

[@Shadowcat31]

you should add flowers to the bottom till they just reach the floor, the fact that there is no backing fabric would make it look really cool and move nicely!

[@lesfousdivertissants4952]

YESSSS ! It would be amazing !

[@Shadowcat31]

@@lesfousdivertissants4952 omg If it was my dress i would add a small train of flowers but i'm a drama queen like that lol 😅

Gorgeous!!! Matching bag, hat, shoes.....endless possibilities. I love it.💋💕

[@karentzn]

I can imagine the excitement when they see their flower on your stunning dress Love Jack and Benson playing on the flowers. So adorable. At least you only did about 40 flowers pinning before you thought of glue. That’s super clever

[@JimeRosello]

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!! You should make a matching outfit with the rest of the flowers for Benson and Jack :)

[@JordanLeigh]

Clearly this exquisite dress needs a matching exquisite blazer and/or handbag and/or hat

[@thisismimi007]

If you have enough, make like a cropped jacket to go with it. The dress looks AMAZIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jadeyates561]

Lovely dress. It turned out really well. With the leftover flowers you could make a wall hanging like those moss latchhook ones but with the flowers instead.😊

[@rabidpotatoify]

I am so happy! This dress is so beautiful and i saw one of my flowers :D I love how different everyone was able to make the flowers and it still looks so cohesive somehow. The dress turned out so awesome

[@FeliciaSC]

It looks soooo expensive, I love how the flowers made the skirt hold a shape almost like horsehair braid! This would be such a wonderful long term project you can do with scrap yarn; just crochet flowers with whatever you have left and one day put them all on a dress or something else!!

[@garyandkathleenaugustine5225]

Jenna, you are always challenging yourself to be better, and your persistence is something to be proud of! This dress is a one of a kind masterpiece and belongs in the Museum of Modern Art.

[@kathyr.6623]

It sounded like a crazy idea, but the dress is incredible! You are so tenacious to complete such an intricate project. Definite 10 out 10! Yay, Jana! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@annietube1]

Beautiful! Ideas for More: An EXTENSION to make the dress FLOOR LENGTH would be amazing-it has so much pizzaz that it warrants a full ball gown version, I think! KZbinr ShannonMakes (I think her name is) invented an awesome extendable skirt panel hack that would be great here! Also, for when it’s shorter like now, I think a matching BIG FLOPPY HAT would be super cute! Gorgeous work everyone, to the community flower-makers and to Jenna!

[@21ElleJay]

floor length with a train

[@essirockarmen9799]

A BIG floppy sun hat 👒 off the leftover flowers would be amazing on it’s own and awesome with the dress 👌💃🏻

[@whosyourmagster]

i think this might be my favourite piece youve ever made!! 😍

[@thesmolbean5579]

OMG I've literally been so excited for this video!!!!! You're one of my comfort KZbinrs; I love watching your videos while I crochet! It makes me feel like I have a little fiber arts buddy

[@jemreandeau3583]

The dress is awesome, with the leftovers you could make a hat, a shrug, a purse and garland for your Christmas tree. ❤

[@ericafowlow1664]

Wow this turned out beautiful!! Loved this series :) you should make some throw pillows with the rest of the flowers to decorate the new apartment and so you can see them all the time!

[@whatsmamadoing3188]

[@tay_tay_tm6261]

Ideas for left overs 1. A short coat to go over the dress. 2. Clothes for dogs. Since you mentioned matching blanket to there beds. 3. A Hand bag.

[@beckycaughel7557]

You could use the rest of the flowers to make yourself a shawl to wear with the dress during cooler weather. I am so impressed with what you did you have such natural talent. It’s just amazing!

[@dave6794]

this is one of the best crochet projects ever! you included your community and make it very special because of that! just one question-how are your plans when it comes to washing the dress especially when there are so many flowers out of different materials. is there a way to clean it properly without damaging the more delicate fibers?

[@debbiefox6846]

Probably best is to hand wash it in cool water and hang it to dry with a towel on the inside or lay flat with a towel just in case the dye on any of the yarns isn't colorfast. Reds, Purples, and blues can tend to bleed. I don't know if she prewashed the flowers but I would probably just to make sure there is no dye transfer. She could use a few of the fabric color collector sheets in the sink just in case.

[@sylviatorres7043]

Definitely 10 out of 10 and more! You did an amazing job! Congrats to you and all who contributed to the beautiful dress. Woohoo!

I'm not one who sent flowers since I discovered you shortly after it all began. With 700+ flowers to deal with, I at first felt happy for the love sent and then badly that you had to make a dress with them all. Well, Sweetheart...YOU DID IT! And my oh my, it's a masterpiece. There isn't anything exactly like it on this planet. In fact, Jenna, this is art gallery worthy. I can really picture it on display. Congrats, Sweetheart! 👏

this is gorgeous! If I made that I would use the rest of the flowers as fringe at the bottom to make it ankle length.
