๐ธ DIY Yarn Flower Embroidery (Using Cardboard Rolls)
๐งต Materials:
- Pink and light-colored yarn
- Two toilet paper rolls (or cardboard strips)
- A yarn needle
- Scissors
- Small decorative beads or buttons for centers
- Hot glue (optional)
๐ Steps to Make Yarn Flowers:
๐น Step 1: Make the Flower Loom
- Place the two toilet rolls side by side, spaced about 2โ3 cm apart.
- Tape them to a flat surface to keep them from moving โ this will act as your petal base.
๐น Step 2: Wrap the Yarn
- Holding the end of your yarn between the rolls, start wrapping the yarn around both rolls to create a figure-8 shape.
- Wrap about 8โ12 times, depending on how full you want your flower petals.
- Cut the yarn and leave a tail of about 20 cm.
๐น Step 3: Tie the Center
- Take a separate piece of yarn or use the yarn tail.
- Slide it between the two rolls and tie it tightly around the center of your loops. This creates the flower center.
- Pull the yarn knot tight and make a double knot to secure.
๐น Step 4: Remove and Fluff
- Slide the loops off the rolls carefully.
- Spread the petals into a flower shape by gently arranging the loops.
๐น Step 5: Add the Center Bead
- Thread a small bead or button onto the center with a yarn needle or glue it in place.
- If needed, secure the back with a small circle of felt or fabric for durability.
โ Tips:
- Use variegated yarn or mix two colors for beautiful blended petals.
- Attach to blankets, hats, or bags using a yarn needle or hot glue.
- To make multi-layered flowers, wrap different yarn colors in stages, tying all at once in the center.
