How to Make Loom Flowers + Free Flower Loom Template

These pretty loom flowers are so quick and simple to make! All you need is a round flower loom, some leftover yarn, and a tapestry needle. You can use a store-bought flower loom like this one from Clover, or easily make your own using the free printable flower loom template I’ve included below.

The template includes two sizes for making 2-inch and 3-inch loom flowers. Once your loom is ready, I’ll show you step by step how to wrap the yarn, secure the center, and remove your finished flower from the loom.

Already have a flower loom? You can skip right down to the flower loom instructions and start making your flowers.

These little yarn flowers are perfect for embellishing everything from baby hats and scarves to spring and Easter decor. They’re also a great way to use up small amounts of leftover yarn from your stash!

Want to try something a little different? You can also use your flower loom to make a wire loom flower instead of using yarn. It’s a fun variation that creates pretty, delicate petals that can be shaped by hand.

How to Make Loom Flowers

Step 1: Wrap the Yarn Around the Loom

To start, insert the tail end of your yarn through the center of your loom and place a finger over the tail to secure it. Then, wrap the long end of your yarn around the top tab.

Step 2: Wrap the Yarn Around the Flower Loom

Wrap the yarn around the tab on the opposite side of the loom. Working clockwise, wrap the yarn over the next tab, then down around the opposite tab.

Continue wrapping the yarn around each tab and its opposite around the loom and repeat for a second pass. There should be two loops around each tab when you’re finished.

Step 3: Secure the Yarn

Leaving a few inches of tail, cut your yarn and use a tapestry needle or your hook to pull the tail through the center. Tie a knot with the two tails behind the loom to secure.

Step 4: Stitch the Center of the Flower

Use a coordinating color to stitch around the center. Starting from behind the flower loom, use a tapestry needle to make crisscross stitches to secure all the petals. Continue stitching until the petals are secure and until you like how the center looks.

You can continue with the crisscross pattern or finish off by making all your stitches in one direction. You can even use a third color to make an accent stitch around the center.

Step 5: Remove the Flower From the Loom

Once you’re finished with the center, bring the yarn to the back of the flower loom and knot the ends to secure. Gently pull each loop off the tabs to remove the flower from the loom.

 And voilà! You have a pretty loom flower!

So quick and easy that you can whip up a bunch in no time at all! I think I want to use these to embellish my burlap wreath from Valentine’s Day. What do you think?
