none of this is made anymore they are
all the supplies you need to make flower
there are some examples when I get what
I buy the biggest
ladies
there's a lot of different size boobs
this is my favorite is the most basic
one
it's um
looks like this these are some pins that
I made
there's a few basic steps on these looms
you can also use yarn you can use
strength you can use wire this is rip
ribbon straw I also have I've collected
a lot of vintage that I'm selling
artificial raffia or synthetic raffia
the mule raffia stuff
the paper a few tears
we start
a lot of the nodes have notches which I
don't use because I think it breaks the
material
so I just tape them
so I'm going to do this first layer
the bottom the outer petal and then you
go in with the second layer for the
inner petal and then just secure it free
pop it off
there's a backstitch kind of similar to
the backs that you do like embroidery
and then a slant stitch problems are
numbered one through twelve
counterclockwise if that's the best way
for you to go the numbers if that works
fine that's how all the instruction
books will tell you to do it while
you're learning I just you know I just
do it without they want to find the pegs
that are directly across
you got this that you've securely taped
down and you go like this like a figure
eight and there's one layer
for this the bottom flower I want to do
like three layers you can go all the way
around or do three layers three layers
be layers and that way I for doing
so there's three and then you go to the
next spoke
see how you can move
there's three and the next one
and so on
just back off
okay so what the next layer
we don't need to lose the longtail this
time
do the same thing but on the inner
spokes
and that that's going to create this
and because I don't want to go I just
like it better the
so the inner ones I'm just going to do
two there
enough thumbs ready so this doesn't
and sometimes it starts twisting just
make sure it's flat as you're doing it
just so everything's even and consistent
there's the two layers
does employ
and remember the three
in the beginning
take that because it's pretty secure at
this point
and see how it's coming up in which we
you want to use I don't know the name of
the song the size or the style of needle
but it's just in my packets and craft
needle something long enough and it's
sharp enough and the eyes big enough to
pick it the ribbon
please read it
what we're doing here is this back
stitch and that secures in between each
pedal
tighten up because you want to achieve
this circle that's the center of the
flower so now you're under me you
/ - come on
you've gone over to to your
laughs or counterclockwise
you come down
so see we start at the beginning of this
and then you just work your way around
you want to really make sure that you're
not actually piercing through the
material because it will start breaking
it down I mean you might probably no big
deal but just in case you don't want
things to fall apart
because it's matches this
so
you can see it's kind of hard to see
since the same color but looking at
underneath you kind of see where you
need to come up see where this is
there's a gap here it's not like the
rest of this so I know I need to come up
here
we come up here and now we're going to
be working clockwise for the slant
stitch we're in between these pedals you
can't free spokes over and this is why
you need a sharp needle you go in
between like that
in other words the slant stick we've
secured in between each petal and the
slant stitch is now going to secure in
between are in the middle of each petal
so it just doesn't come we know so it's
going to be stable okay over three shoes
so in other words receiver starting
we're coming up one over from where we
started
and then the over three into the scope
you get to your meeting where you've
begun
and you're going to go back over your
first slant stitches and so so it looks
consistent
see we want to go in between this one
but see there's one that we've already
done just to make it look continuous I'm
going to go under here
and then down in between the petal and
we do that for a couple of more one
couple more rounds
so see up here
and then down
in between here
so see that makes it continuous and then
I'm going to put it down in here
you can start taking all your tape Oh
sometimes the tails get stuck up under
just gently turn them out so you're
ready to take it off just by gently
just kind of bring the petals up
kind of work it off gently
I tie everything together in the back I
put a little glue on it and let that dry
before I use it for whatever I'm going
to use it for just as secure
sometimes the flowers look fine this is
just as it looks right when it comes off
the loom you can fluff it a really good
way of fluffing it take like a tiny
little pair of scissors thank you
in between and just go like that and you
start it starts you know making a more
fluffy pound at all you can go right
there
not my pins
I mean I just like the backs to be
really clean highs I wrap everything
around I don't just do the pin back on I
secure it and wrap everything around
just so it looks really finish
trying to have the knots and stitching
August
all my kids are kind of one of a kind
I try to match up
companies that made the surprise
pick these two
Entertainment
the pegs are stored in the back
you know you just put the pegs in
whatever configuration we want you can
do asymmetrical clappers you can have a
lot of different layers
and what's so special to me about some
of these smaller companies
heavenly white women in the 60s and 70s
this is hazel person she was based in
for me
to Pasadena near away
this kid was by the June whoo
these were women there kept home
invent industry
manufactured crap supplies too small
I've discovered so much about them
for
you
