These ideas helped me decide on what to use my flowers on. Hope it helps.

Thanks!
I love that daisy headband! What a great idea! I’ve never used a flower loom but would love to try one out.

Thanks, Melissa! It’s definitely worth a try. If you don’t feel like investing in a loom, the web page link I provided has some instructions to make one yourself–some of them look pretty easy.
what an interesting texture with the addition of the loomed flowers. so pretty!
Thanks, Michele (and thanks for stopping by)!
i love your idea. very pretty and thank you for the smart links you have given us.
i will look to the others as well.
we called this in dutch tenerife .
it was from metal and with a mechanic inside you could swicht the legs in and outside the circle tool.
my mum has lost it, but making one your self is a great idea as well;-D
so i’m very greatful ;-D
Thanks! If you end up making one , I’d love to see it or any projects made with it!
i got the hana ami clover loom and i really like it,except I’m having trouble darning the center. Is anyone else having the same trouble. Any tips?
Rachelle,
I find this part to be one of the most awkward. I usually make two passes, darning around in a circle twice. I still need to figure out how to make the back look pretty.
Oh, also — I don’t remember what the links and loom instructions say, but I darn the whole diameter. This is hard to explain: I bring the needle up through a petal, and down through its opposite petal (not down through the middle). Basically, like making wheel spokes all the way around (twice).
