Sure! Here is a step-by-step tutorial so you can make the exact yarn spiral flowers shown in your picture.
🌹 YARN SPIRAL PUFF FLOWER — FULL DETAILED TUTORIAL
These flowers are made by wrapping yarn around a ruler, then forming a round puff with a spiral center.
⭐ MATERIALS (detailed)
Yarn
- Main color: Red (medium weight)
- Accent color: White (for spiral rings)
Tools & Supplies
- Ruler / popsicle stick / small piece of cardboard (width 2–3 cm)
- Scissors
- Needle & thread (optional but helps secure)
- Hot glue or craft glue
- Floral wire, bamboo stick, or wooden skewer (for stem)
- Green floral tape or green yarn

⭐ STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS (very detailed)
STEP 1 — Prepare the wrapping tool
Use a ruler (like in the image).
You can also cut cardboard:
- Width: 2–3 cm
- Length: 15–20 cm
This controls the size of your flower.
STEP 2 — Begin wrapping the yarn
How to wrap neatly:
- Hold the end of the red yarn against the back of the ruler.
- Start tossing the yarn around the width of the ruler.
- Wrap tightly but not too tight—you need to slide it off later.
- Keep the fibers close and even, side by side.
How many wraps?
- 40–50 wraps → thick puff
- 30 wraps → thinner puff
You can choose depending on how fluffy you want the flower.

STEP 3 — Add the white spiral lines
This is how you get the white spiral design in the photo.
There are 2 ways:
Method A (exact spiral):
- After 8–10 wraps of red, wrap 1 round of white.
- Continue 8–10 wraps red.
- Add another white wrap.
- Repeat until you finish the swirl pattern.
This builds the bullseye spiral.
Method B (random rings):
Alternate red and white randomly.
Either method works and gives the same “target spiral” look.

STEP 4 — Slide the yarn bundle off the ruler
- Carefully push the wrapped yarn forward.
- Use both thumbs to gently slide it off.
- DO NOT lose the shape—keep the loops in order.
You should have a fat yarn bundle shaped like a donut.
STEP 5 — Tie the flower center (VERY IMPORTANT)
Cut a separate piece of yarn (same color as final flower).
- Place this yarn under the middle of the bundle.
- Pull both ends up.
- Tie a tight double knot in the center.
- This forces the loop bundle into a flower form.
- The tied yarn will pull the center inward and create a puffy circle.
Tip: If it’s not tight enough, the flower will fall apart. Tie strongly.
STEP 6 — Form the flower shape
Now flatten it:
- Spread the loops outward with your fingers.
- Press the center slightly to make it look round.
- Adjust the loops until the spiral pattern looks even.
It should now look like a round red button with a white swirl, exactly like the image.
STEP 7 — Secure the back (optional but recommended)
Option 1: Sewing
- Use a needle and thread.
- Make a few stitches across the back to lock loops.
Option 2: Hot glue
- Apply a small dot of glue to hold the back knot and loops.
This keeps the flower from deforming.

STEP 8 — Add a stem
Option A: Floral wire
- Cut a wire 20–25 cm.
- Wrap it with green floral tape.
- Glue the end to the back of the flower.
Option B: Wooden skewer
- Wrap the stick with green yarn using glue.
- Attach to the flower back.
Option C: Without stem
You can also use these as:
- Buttons
- Brooches
- Bag decorations
- Coasters
⭐ EXTRA TIPS FOR PERFECT FLOWERS
✔ Use soft yarn for smoother spirals
Acrylic or cotton works best.
✔ Keep wrapping consistent
Uneven wraps = uneven spiral.
✔ Tie VERY tightly
This is the key to a neat puff.
✔ Make different sizes
Use a wider ruler or fewer wraps.
