You’ll need two pen­cils and some yarn to cre­ate this yarn flower. If you’d like, you can enhance it by adding pearls at the end using a yarn nee­dle. Let’s begin by focus­ing on both pen­cils.

Start by tak­ing a yarn length slight­ly longer than your pen­cil. Wrap it around the top of your pen­cil and tie it twice. This por­tion of the yarn will secure the flower at the end. Ensure that the knot is tight. Repeat this process at the very bot­tom of both pen­cils. You can use any type or size of pen­cil; for instance, a col­ored pen­cil will result in a small­er flower. If your yarn is thin­ner, like a size three, it will con­tribute to a small­er-sized flower. Repeat the process for both pen­cils.

Next, take anoth­er length of yarn with a tail of about six to sev­en inch­es. Posi­tion the yarn in the cen­ter and wrap it around both pen­cils, weav­ing it in and out. Con­tin­ue this weav­ing pat­tern, count­ing approx­i­mate­ly fifty rep­e­ti­tions, trans­lat­ing to 25 strands of yarn on each pen­cil.

Once you’ve reached the desired amount, take the two start­ing strands of yarn and tie them tight­ly togeth­er twice. Pro­ceed to cut that yarn. Trim the tops and bot­toms of the yarn strands, then tie them togeth­er as tight­ly as pos­si­ble.

Care­ful­ly remove the yarn strands from the pen­cils and twist them into a cir­cle. Keep work­ing on it until it resem­bles a small, cir­cu­lar puff flower. The basic struc­ture is now com­plete.

To add a fin­ish­ing touch, con­sid­er insert­ing any jew­el­ry at the cen­ter. In this exam­ple, a pearl is used.

Your beau­ti­ful yarn flower is now fin­ished. Thank you for watch­ing, and please sub­scribe for more cre­ative tuto­ri­als.
