Try This – Fancy Flowers
.
This month, I’m learning to use my newest craft gadget…the flower loom. The flower loom I’m using is Hana-Ami Flower Loom by Clover.
The flowers I made this week were created by making two separate simple flowers, then gluing them together. I added a button for the flower center.
I experimented with some other flowers, but they either fell apart or looked horrible.
I also experimented with the weaving technique, but wasn’t able to figure out how to finish the ends.
Then, I remembered YouTube. There are quite a few videos demonstrating flowers made on a flower loom. I’m going to watch some of them and see if I can come up with some new flowers next week.

They look really pretty Lori. You could stitch a brooch pin on and they would look lovely on a sweater.
Couldn’t you just weave the ends in behind the flower with a tapestry needle, that’s what I do when I am crocheting.

Your flowers are getting prettier and prettier! I love how these turned out. I still think you need to start attaching them to collars!
These are such pretty fancy flowers!
Very pretty! I like the first one the best. Very nice!
I think the woven ones will be great if you can figure out how to finish the ends, they look like they might be more practical than the loopy ones cos you will be less likely to snag them on things… Deccy x
I LOVED my flower loom! They make such wonderful flowers. Have you tried crocheting them together rather than glue.

I think the second one is my favorite. I love the color combination and the button looks like a real crystal.

I like the last flower. Was that done on the loom too? I was just telling a friend yesterday about a blogger I knew who made flowers on a loom. This friend has been knitting one scarf for 2 winters! I don’t know too many crafty people lol. In fact, I think my friend Rachel might be the only one 🙂
