Here is a simple step-by-step tutorial to make the cute yarn loop flowers shown in your picture — using clothespins as molds.
🌼 SUPPLIES
- Colorful yarn (2 colors for each flower)
- Clothespins (used as a loop mold)
- Scissors
- Hot glue or fabric glue
- Small flower center (button, bead cluster, fabric flower, or small crochet flower)
🌼 HOW TO MAKE IT — SUPER DETAILED STEPS
🔹 STEP 1 — Prepare the Clothespin Mold
- Take one clothespin.
- Use the opening of the clothespin as a mold.
- You will wrap yarn in a loop through the gap — this keeps every petal same size.
✔ This makes petal size consistent
✔ No measuring needed
🔹 STEP 2 — Make Yarn Petals
You will make 6 petals for each flower.
How to make 1 petal loop:
- Insert yarn through the clothespin opening.
- Pull yarn to make a loop on both sides of the clothespin.
- Wrap the yarn around the clothespin 2–3 times to make a thick petal.
- Cut the yarn.
- Tie the two ends together tightly.
- Slide the loop off the clothespin.
Now you have one petal loop.
Repeat until you have 6 loops.
🔹 STEP 3 — Make Two Colors Like the Photo
The picture shows:
- 3 petals in bright color A
- 3 petals in bright color B
So you can choose:
- Yellow + orange
- Pink + yellow
- Blue + pink
Make 3 loops of each color.
🔹 STEP 4 — Shape the Flower
- Place all 6 loops on a flat surface.
- Arrange them in a circle:
- Color A, Color B, Color A, Color B, Color A, Color B
- Overlap their centers slightly.
- Apply a drop of hot glue at the middle to fix them in place.
Press gently for 10 seconds.
🔹 STEP 5 — Add the Center Flower
In the picture, the center is:
- A white small flower
- With pearl beads in the middle
You can make one by:
- Using a ready-made fabric flower
OR - Making a small 6-petal yarn puff
OR - Gluing small beads into a circle
Glue this piece directly in the middle where all loops join.
🔹 STEP 6 — Let It Dry
Allow glue to cool and set.
Now your flower is complete!
🌸 EXTRA TIPS FOR PERFECT RESULTS
⭐ Make petals thicker
Wrap yarn around the clothespin 3–4 times for fuller petals.
⭐ Keep petals sturdy
Use acrylic yarn — it holds shape better.
⭐ Make many flowers fast
Prepare many loops first, then glue all flowers together afterward.
