How to Make a Wire Loom Flower

I love crocheting with wire, so I thought it would be fun to try using wire on a flower loom too. I love how this pretty wire loom flower came out!

I made the flower using 28-gauge nickel silver wire, with a little copper wire added to the center for contrast. The wire holds the loops beautifully and lets you gently shape the petals after removing the flower from the loom.

If you’ve never made a loom flower before, start with my How to Make Loom Flowers Tutorial, where you’ll also find a free printable flower loom template you can use to make your own loom.

I think I’m going to attach a pin backing to mine and use it as a brooch. What do you think?

Materials

• 28-gauge nickel silver wire
• 28-gauge copper wire (optional, for an accent in the center)
• A flower loom, or make your own using my free Flower Loom Template
• Wire cutters

What Wire Should You Use for Loom Flowers?

I used 28-gauge nickel silver wire for the petals of my loom flower. It’s thin enough to wrap around the loom easily while still being sturdy enough to hold the shape of the petals once the flower is removed.

For the center, I added a little 28-gauge copper wire for contrast. This is optional—you can make the entire flower with one type of wire if you prefer.

Making the Wire Flower

To make the flower, wrap the wire around the loom just as you would when making a yarn loom flower, using the wire in place of yarn.

If you’re new to using a flower loom, follow my How to Make Loom Flowers Tutorial for the step-by-step wrapping technique. You’ll also find a free printable flower loom template there if you don’t already have a loom.

Once the flower is removed from the loom, gently shape the wire loops with your fingers until you’re happy with the petals.
