Jute twine flowers!
I found a tutorial on
this blog and got to work
and made some bunting. These little flowers are surprisingly fun to make!
The larger flowers are made of jute twine, and the smaller ones are plain old cotton string. I used twill tape I bought at an estate sale to string them.
I followed the tutorial, but changed two things. I used finishing nails instead of straight pins for my little "loom", because I had more of them.
(I don't really know where all my straight pins have gone. It's one of life's little mysteries.)
And when it got to the part where you stitch around the petals, I went around twice instead of once. It kind of gives the center a braided look.
It makes me smile.
Go check out the tutorial!

Very Very Cute! I love the way you have made a banner out of them. I kind of remember making something similar to these years ago. I really like them with the jute. This reminds me of the spool project we used to do, too. You know where the "rat's tail" came down through the center of the spool as you hooked on the top of the spool. xo Diana
