Hey Peg Bow Maker, meet Flower Loom :-)  Seriously, your husbands and boyfriends are going to tire of me I think, lol!!  Well so many of you asked how to make the flower I made on this post and I chuckled because I had to make a flower loom to make that flower.  Why make a flower loom?  Well I suppose you can buy them somewhere, I’ve not seen one and mine is very inexpensive.  The round box I made it from costs $1.00 plus some additional hardware.  So anyways, this is such a cute and easy way to make these ribbon flowers.   I made all the sweet flowers above with this little contraption below, my flower loom :-)  It now has a place on my shelf next to my Peg Bow Maker.


Here are some options when looking for a cylindrical item to make the loom.  The small box at Michaels is $1.00, I found yet another round box and a birdhouse whose roof I removed.  How about a wooden flower pot?


Here is a close up picture of the rivets I purchased (at Home Depot).  I only needed 16 of them but this multipack was all they had.


Here’s the video tutorial to show you how to make the loom, describe what you need and how to make your first flower on the loom, enjoy!

By the way, should you make a loom and show on your blog or elsewhere, I’d appreciate a link back to this post for the work I put into this.   Thanks!!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: None
Paper: None
Ink: None
Accessories: 1 Round Box, 1 5/64ths drill bit, 2″ Nail, 16 – 1/8″ Rivets with 1/2″ grip

Thanks so much for stopping by. I sincerely hope you will give this a try – it’s an easy tutorial and gives you one more thing you can make to embellish your cards with out breaking the bank!!

    Oh Becca, Becca, Becca…now I know why you picked the name for your blog!! You truly are ONE AMAZING LADY in more ways than one. I’m really in awe of your talent!! I’ll never get my hubby to make one of these looms or I’d have to wait ages for him to do it and as you know us crafters want something yesterday! Lol! So I’m thinking of a circular piece of polystyrene and adding the rivets (or maybe cocktail sticks) to that and not forgetting the nail in the centre! I’m hoping this will work for the time being.
    Thank you so much for another amazing tutorial.

    Love Sheila xxReplyCancel

  • CharlotteApril 23, 2011 - 6:36 am

    Oh, Becca . . . you are soooo talented . . . and clever! I’m going to have to run out this next week and buy the supplies to make one of these flower looms. Thank you so much for taking the time to make a tutorial sharing with us how to make the ribbon flower and how to make the loom to make the flowers on! (I guess that was really two tutorials in one – ha/ha).
    I pray you and your family have a blessed Easter!ReplyCancel

  • SherylApril 23, 2011 - 6:42 am

    what a coincidence – I just found a yarn flower in my stash that I got from a Etsy purchase and I was going to go out and buy one to use with all my threads and yarns. I crochet flowers but wanted a different flower. Hence the need for a little loom. Gosh – I had one of these looms when I was a kid. Brings back memories. good job on the video.ReplyCancel

  • Mary AnnApril 23, 2011 - 7:13 am

    Great tutorial Becca! Maybe we should warn Home Depot now to stock up on their supply of rivets!ReplyCancel

  • Jackie PApril 23, 2011 - 7:40 am

    Well…I have been wanting a loom. Wonder if the pegs would work for yarn – not a huge loom, just the small size one.
    I am going to see if I can find one of those at Michaels – if so you will get a photo!!! I love the flowers!!
    Just wanted to mention, since I have found you and your amazing flower tutorials – when I see flowers at store all I can think is I can make a nicer one (thanks to you mainly!).

    Your the best!!! And please keep thinking of ways to make flowers and bows!!!

  • MichelleApril 23, 2011 - 7:43 am

  • Judy I, St. Louis MOApril 23, 2011 - 7:48 am

    Hi Becca! You’re so clever! I just love “homemade” everything! Making your own tools is a satisfying craft in and of itself. What a relaxing, fulfilling thing to do : ) Please show us your studio, but only if it would please you to do so. I know there are some things that we need to keep for ourselves, just between you and God and your memories. You give part of you away every time you post . Thank you, Becca. I’m so glad I found your little corner of the web. Iris, Saved by GraceReplyCancel

  • WillowApril 23, 2011 - 8:19 am

    Oh my Becca, you are just so darn talented and handy!!! I am afraid I would never get those holes drilled evenly, especially having never used a drill before. LOL. You know what I would love… I would love if you would make both your peg bowmaker and this one and sell them. I for one would buy both of them and I don’t care the cost. Honestly, just to have it done for me would be a blessing!!! But, that said, thanks so much for another incredible tutorial video where you make the seemingly impossible look easy!!!

    I know you will have a blessed Easter!!!ReplyCancel

  • pamela watsonApril 23, 2011 - 8:29 am

  • JaniceApril 23, 2011 - 8:40 am

    Becca, what a wonderful tutorial. Love these little flowers. I make hats on a loom and donate them to a Childrens hospital (they use them for cancer patients and to hand out in the emergency ward) or to homeless shelters. I have recently started blinging them a bit with crocheted flowers but it is slow going for me as it hurts my hands. This is perfect. And, I love how you can embellish them even more to make larger flowers. Oh, won’t the little girls just love these. Thank you so much for sharing. Hmmm, now where is that drill?ReplyCancel

  • JeanApril 23, 2011 - 8:51 am

    Dear Becca: Thank you for the tutorial on making these pretty flowers – thank you! I would like to mention that navigating your site is easy and it is nicely set up. You are one talented lady. Since I’m new to your site I wish to express belated condolences on your loss. Easter Blessings, Jean.ReplyCancel

    Thanks so much for making the tutorial on your flower loom! I showed
    it to my husband and hope he will make one for me too! You are so
    creative, it’s a pleasure to see what you create next. I have one question,
    what ribbon width should we use to make the flowers? I am guessing
    around 1 inch?

    Thanks again Becca!

    Wow! You really rock! The wheels in my head are turning because I think I own one of those yellow plastic flower looms and have it stashed somewhere! Of course your loom is so practical because you can store all those rivets inside your hinged loom box. Love that tutorial and you are so good with your instructions.

    Have a blessed Easter everyone!ReplyCancel

    Oh Becca you are such the topic of conversation in my home this morning! I told my hubby I have another Becca video I want him to watch and he said “what did that lady make now???” LOL My wonderful Hubby made me one of your Peg Bow Makers. I went over to the other Becca Fan’s web site and looked at hers. Mine is made out of the White wood my wonderful hubby had left from making me my new sewing/craft room. I am going to have to bling mine up like hers!!! Becca, you are my hero. You are truly an amazing woman, crafter, wife to your beloved John in heaven, mom and Christian. Blessings to you this Easter.

    I love this idea…I am heading out to Michaels today and now I think I am going to pick up one of these boxes. I like the way you can take out the rivets and store them in the box…of course I will have to get my Cricut out and use some vinyl and decorate up the box!! Maybe I will put one of these bows on the top. What great ideas you come up with, you are my idol! Take care.

    Becca, I am heading out now to get all the supplies, thanks for sharing the exact pegs to buy, the funny thing is i just bought some new buttons yesterday by Bazzill some are faceted centers and some are indented, they have a silver backing that shines thru the many colors they come in, any of your followers who like sparkly things should check them out, i cant wait to use them in the center of the flowers.

  • BernieApril 23, 2011 - 12:45 pm

    Amazing!! And Gorgeous flowers!!! I thought the flower on that card was a score tape flower you had flatened and added a brad to. I love the way your mind works and all the delightful things you come up with and share with us. My son often brings me little scraps of things from his work and challenges me to make something out of it. A few weeks ago he brought me a 2 1/2″ circle of something that looks and feels like those self healing mats. It is about two inches thick, I think it will work well for this project. Just need the pegs. Thanks for everything!!!
    Hoping you and those you love will have a happy and blessed Easter.

  • UKmaryanneApril 24, 2011 - 1:44 am

    I made mine from foam core and cardboard, with wodden pegs. Almost a year ago and it is still going strong! Unfortunately we don’t have Michaels in the UK so I had to make do with what I could find in my scrap room or around the house :) Now I may have to see if I can source those metal pegs. They are much thinner than the wooden ones and may make for a more delicate loop. And I sewed the middles, more like when using a traditional 1970s flower loom, but just popping a brad thru is a whole lot easier!

    You may recall me linking to your lovely Fleur di Lis ornament a month or so back. I still haven’t managed it, but I will one day. It’s still one of my all time fave projects from the net!

    Happy Easter to you.

    Great idea once again Becca. As I was watching your tutorial, I was thinking, hey, you could cut the ends of the loops and using another layer, also with cut loops, you would wind up with an astor like flower. Maybe I will try this idea myself….my mind is whirling so out to the shop I go..ReplyCancel

    Love the bow maker(s)! Have to make a trip to Home Depot for some of the “ingredients. I have a difficult time making anything smaller than a pew bow by hand, so your tools will give me a hand (get it?!?!?) to make card size bows and ribbon flowers that aren’t lopsided.

    Love the little loom. I’m going to get out and take my coupon with me to save 40% off the little box. Hopefully they have some left and I can get it for 60 cents. Now if I just had a coupon to Home Depot.

    On the tape runner glues – stay away from the brand that Walmart sells (don’t know if I can name it). The glue just doesn’t stick well. I made a card and when I got ready to mail it a couple of days later, it had come apart. Found an ATV on Overstock.com today for $25 with one refill. Think it will order it today. Your endorsement is good enough for me!ReplyCancel

  • Vicki MitchellApril 25, 2011 - 11:43 am

    I am excited to see this about flower looms. I have a Hana-Ami Flower Loom by Clover that cost me about $16. I think they may sell them at Joanns or Michaels, I got mine on Ebay. The cool thing about the Hana-Ami loom is that it comes with 3 different sized circle looms, 2 sizes of squares, and one hexagon. Also, by using 2 different sizes at once, you can make double layer flowers. I darn the middle of my flowers to hold them together. There are video tutorials too for using the Hana-Ami loom. I really love it, and I love buying ribbon yarns in variegated colors to use with it.ReplyCancel

    Hi, we are haing a problem with this. We made some but can’t seem to get them to work. What side nail did you use. We can’t seem to get the brad to go through after we get the flower made. Was wondering if we need a bigger nail or what the problem is. The brad that we used had a long shank on it but kept bending. Help!!!ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca…………can you share what size ribbon you used to make your bows on the bow maker? Wasn’t sure of the width. My hubbie made me a loom, and I’m just trying to decide what ribbon will work best.

    Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful talents!!!!!!

Hi there blog friends!! I have to admit that after I got done with this card I was pleased — it’s different!  It almost looks like filigree to me. I’m using some of this months new releases with JustRite Stamps and several Spellbinders templates to get the effect; I used JustRite Stampers Faith and Forever Friends sets.
Isn’t this layer-a-licious?  I used Spellbinders Grand Squares to cut out all the levels up to Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Squares.  I’m soooo in love with the perfect square and the embossed (beveled) edges – they finish a card so nicely.  After setting the Fleur de Lis Squares in place I cut four of the large symmetrical posts from Spellbinders Elegant Posts then cut arrow end off and trimmed the big end.  On top of that I stacked Spellbinders Classic Squares LG and Spellbinders Classic Squares SM and finished by cutting my sentiment out with Spellbinders Classic Circles LG.

Oh, I found Recollections Pearls in chocolate!!  I know you can color them but I love them when they are already the color I need.  I just didn’t have the heart to put ribbon on this card – it’s soooo busy and I didn’t want to disturb the symmetry. 

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Stampers – Faith, Forever Friends
Paper: Die Cuts with a View – Mademoiselle, Coredinations – Java Bean
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Chestnut Roan
Accessories: Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Squares, Spellbinders Elegant Posts, Spellbinders Classic Squares SM, Spellbinders Classic Squares LG, Spellbinders Standard Circles LG, Spellbinders Grand Squares, Recollections Pearls

Well, it’s early and coffee is calling my name – off to have some and sort out the day.  Be good friends – ha-ha, you always are!!

Could you please tell me how do you get the cardstock out of the Spellbinders Dies that are very thin. I usually end up tearing them or poking holes in them trying to dig them out. Thanks and God Bless always.ReplyCancel

  • SuAnneApril 22, 2011 - 8:35 am

    How beautiful. I love all the different layers. This would be perfect for a masculine b-day card too! I have a question. I use a craft knife to apply my self-adhesive gems and pearls. Any suggestions on an easier method? I’ve tried the tweezers, but if I don’t cut the string of adhesive with a craft knife first, it often pulls the adhesive off the back. Any other tips or ideas?

    Thank you so much for inspiring me daily.

    a real classic.

    Although I’m a huge fan of your ribbon treatments, I’m glad you decided to forgo ribbon on this card. As you said, it would take away from this handsome card.ReplyCancel

My morning routine is to get my coffee then look to see what you have to share with us for the day. I enjoy reading all the comments as well. Your fans often give a tip or ask a question that gets me thinking.
    Happy Earth Day! Someone mentioned free coffee at Starbucks today but did you know they give away their grounds free every day. Wonderful stuff for the garden, conditions the soil, acid loving plants thrive on it AND the caffeine deters slugs.

    I really like this. I always seems to me that I am not happy with a sense of being finished until I add a bow. Sometimes that makes me want to do something without, just to prove I don’t NEED it. I love the way you did this one. No bow needed!ReplyCancel

    Thank you again, love the color combination, and yes while you didn’t have one of your famous bows on this one, I’m happy with it as most of my cards get sent in the mail and with the cost of mail on the up and up…bows end up costing more…so enjoy this inspiration and the thought for me that it would be cheaper to put in the mail.

Hi there blog friends!  As promised, I rolled random.org to get the winner.   I hope you’ll take a second to pop in and see if it was you.


If the winner could please reach out to me through my contact page with your mailing address within 48 hours.  With no response, I’ll pick a new name.  Remember, I save packages until I have a few, then I make a post office run :-)

There were a lot of great clearance stories.  It almost makes me feel as if I’m been living under a rock.  There is no doubt that a frugal crafter will find a sale!!  I’ve found some great items on clearance in my day many years ago I had a favorite sale I would attend.    I’m a knitter too and more specifically I do machine knitting.  That’s the impatient part of me, on a machine I can get a sweater done in two days :-)  Knitting machines take cone yarn but it’s a tad pricey, besides being a little hard to find.  It would begin at a couple of dollars a pound and go up – something like silk would be through the roof.   I found a place in Cartersville, Georgia that sold yarn but better yet had a sale every July.   They said to get anything good you needed to come early and camp out.  So for years my family and I made the trip and could camp out the day before to get our place at the door.  Once inside, you could have anything you could snag for $1.00 a pound, including some ribbons and laces.  My family and I would case the yarn mill out the day before to see where all the expensive stuff was.  Then when they opened the doors at 5am on the day of the sale – everyone would bust in and run along raking cones of yarn into big boxes.  A stocked warehouse quickly emptied within and hour or so, with knitters, weavers, spinners and other artisans leaving quite happy.  Pity, R&M Yarns moved to Tennessee and there’s no more sale, but every year the same people would come. Even though it was a hectic run to grab the best stuff, people were friendly!!

So as not to make it too confusing, I’ll show the winner for buttons tomorrow and I’ll have something new to show then.

    Hi Becca, This is the first time I have commented. I love your beautiful cards and my hubby made me a peg bow tier and my card friends all wanted one as well so he has had something to occupy his spare time. I am in Australia and love making cards. We are a smal group (10-12) who meet twice weekly to make our cards. I have just bought a die cutter and ordered Spellbinders dies to get started. I just get so much pleasure from my cards and my craft room & stash has been a long term project(10yrs). A girl has to have a hobby. Kind Regards RobynReplyCancel

    The card, All Our Best Wishes, is beautiful and made me decide to subscribe to your blog. What did you use for the the swirls on the background? It looks like wood but maybe it’s chipboard? Would love to make this card. Thanks,

    Hello Becca, I am from Australia & my friend & I are eager each day to see your new cards. We get really great ideas from you….many thanks. We were wondering if you would be able to do a few male type cards as we are often stuck for ideas, thanks Wendy HReplyCancel

    Hello Becca, Wendy H had a wonderful idea for some cards for the males. They seem hard to make. ThanksReplyCancel
