Twine Hair Pretties

by 11 Comments

Hello, hello, I’m finally back from hurdling a few life obstacles (a virus that ran through our house like the plague and my husband’s father passing away) with a super cool way to use my favorite twine in the world. Lesley, bringer of colorful goodness, challenged us to make flowers with her lovely twine and that’s exactly what I did.

 
Aren’t they just too cute?!? I love them. Once I started, it was very hard to stop. I kept thinking of all the twine I wouldn’t have for cards and projects if I made an army of these. That and the plague stopped me. 🙂
 
 
I also needed a model. I tried to use my own head and have my youngest take pictures, but that didn’t work out so well. Then I remembered my little nephew has hair and he’s adorable, except completely mobile. Two and a half year old mobile. Would he stay still long enough, or better yet, let me put flowers in his hair. Believe it or not, he did both. 
 
 
What a ham! I think he was flirting with the camera. He was also trying to feed my Koi some of his juice. Anything for a picture, buddy.
 
 
Ok, you didn’t come here to see my sister-in-law’s kid, but I love all these pictures. She is going to kill me for putting girly bows in his hair, and he will too when he’s 17. Primarily because Aunt Becki showed the world. It’s one thing when you bring out the bath time pictures to show the new girlfriend and another when you blog about him wearing hair bows. hehehe Oh I can’t wait. 😉
 

To make the flowers, I used the above flower loom. It’s by Clover and called the “Hana-Ami”. This loom comes with two different sets of easy to follow instructions to make all kinds of flowers. You can find all sorts of ideas for flower looms on Pinterest. For the French Knot middle on the yellow flower, the instructions are on Knitting-and.com. The four colors I used for my flowers are Lemon Tart, Grape Fizz, Orangesicle, and Twisted Lime.

You can also make your own loom. Check out the Pinterest link above for information. These are pretty easy to make, just a little time consuming depending on the type of middle you would like to create. I may do a step-by-step in the future. Life is just too hectic right now for me to get time to make it. Just go a little searching for flower looms and that should get you started on the road to creating these beauties.
