This brings back memories. I remember my grandmother gave me an old wooden empty spool of thread that had 4 headless pins in a square formation around the middle hole of the spool. You weave your thread around the pins and inside with a needle and thread which eventually created a weaving in a tube formation that as you finished would come out the bottom from the inside of the spool hole. She took the tube weaved, sewed it in a spiral formation and made a rug for my doll house :D
I found this really interesting and well instructed and thanks for posting. Strange how 18 people have "disliked" it. What's that all about? lol! Well done, I thought it was excellent.
Thanks for watching Cathy's video she's so glad that you enjoyed it! The stuff in her kits is vintage and no longer being made. Just like with everything else thats vintage, it can be found in many places and for various prices. Her kits contain looms and an original instruction book as well as a resource sheet (sources for supplies, links to tutorials, etc.) as well as a close up photo of the flower board (as seen in the video) so you can be inspired by vintage flowers!
I go to yard sales occasionally and see these kits all the time :D I use to have some looms like this. Well, more of a variation of these. I had one that had thin metal rods incased in plastic, and there was a knob that you turned at the bottom that made the spokes go in and out of the incasement. You would wrap your yard on the spokes, stitch the center so that the flower held, then turned the knob and the spokes would disappear into the encasement releasing the flower you made. :D
I saw one of these flowers on a leather box at the Container Store. I almost ripped the box apart trying to figure out how they made the gorgeous raffia flower on the side. Now I know...not as easy at it looks...but gorgeous.
hey Cathy looks like Edna Moda (from the incredibles) xD just thinking xD anyway, where i can get that kits,i want to make flowers :3!! its so lovely! excellent for to decorate gifts, postcards or anything X3 great idea =P
puedes adornar tu bolso con flores de rafia, o crear bolsos uniendo flores de rafia con crochet,incuso, si usas estambre puedes crear maravillosas colchas o cobijas de diseños florales al igual que bufandas,blusas,ponchos,cojines,faldas,rebozos,es cuestion de paciencia y de dejar a volar tu imaginacion.

that's a great idea to make cute flowers!
it's soooooooo easy to make one of these looms!!!! All you need is a circular piece of wood with a hole in the middle, then space nails around it.
so cute!
it's a fever in my counry! :-)
Wow... They look lovely! I wonder whether I could get one of them here in Germany...

WHY use raffia when you can accordian-fold a plastic grocery bag and cut into long strips? Upcycle!
Shhhhhh! everybody. I can't hear Cathy.
