Hi there!~ Today is a quickie! Cutie, but quick. We are back from our vacation to New Orleans. I feel like I need a sponge bath, a facial, and some serious foot massaging. It was a great time had by all! I am sharing how to make a twine flower in about 10 minutes time. I love twine. I love embellishing with twine, I love the texture of twine and I love all the creative and simple ways to use twine.
I was bored the other evening while Mike was working and of course the kids were not home. Lord help me when I am a complete empty nester. I hate to even think about it. What will I do with my time? Y’all might be seeing two three posts a day from me:)
For this craft all you need is a roll of twine, a hot glue gun and either cardboard, or a poster board. Basically anything a little more durable for the center of the flower.
For this project I worked right off the roll of the twine for the flower petals. Basically, I never did any cutting or trimming until the end. The center of the flower was the first cutting off of the twine. Then from there the flower petals were all looped and glued without any cutting until the end.
I am including a short visual video of the tutorial. I believe even a 1st grader can do this project.
Cut circle center and begin to hot glue looping around to form a flower petal.
One by one, by one, by one, loop, hot glue, loop hot glue
I see some fall twine flowers in my future.

July 9 at 10:55 amCould not tell from the video if you used 2 pieces of poster board or one – one to wrap the petals and one to make the center or did you wrap the center and flip it over to make the petals?

July 9 at 11:58 amThat is correct Linda. USED one to wrap the center and flip it over to make the petals. It’s just a plain circled center with cardboard or poster board as I mentioned. You can make a ton of them with one poster board:)

July 9 at 12:43 pmVery cute! And thank you for explaining about flipping it over for the petals. That would be cute for so many things. I think I will try it on a gift wrapped in packing wrap, tied with twine and put one of these flowers on it. Now I’m excited!
