You could do french knitting with those. Kind of like finger knitting only with the pegs and the result goes through the middle. I used to make little ropes that went on and on and on and on and on…
lol! i’ve wanted one of those for a while. ever since i saw danielle thompson using one. lol. and now i want one even more.
i’m happy you’re having so much fun with emma! 🙂

I like this. Cute flowers! I haven’t tried vintage equipment, but then again I don’t own any vintage equipment.
Oh, I’d love one of those! Those flowers are just beautiful!And can be used…EVERYWHERE!Go sisters! 🙂
I have one of those I got from my grandma. I made necklaces and headbands for my girls.
yep, sure have. Love making loom flowers. 🙂
this is so cute! i love the packaging too:)
I found some kelly green “straw yarn” at a vintage shop a while back. I have used it for crochetting but I think it’s original purpose was for the flower looms.
Love what you have done so far!
those are super cute
So fun! I love your little flowers 🙂
So adorable! I may have to search out one of those.
Never tried a flower loom before… going to have to get my hands on one – they look great!
fun!
How lovely! I would love to try that! Glad the sisterly bonding is in full swing!
Those flowers are so darn cute! I love them … and they would look great on layouts and a bunch of other things, too!! And the thing that is even better ,,, is that you get to do it with your sister!! Awesome!
that reminds me of when my mum used to make loom flowers when I was little, maybe I’ll search in the attic for it after this sudden inspiration?

Ooooh, pretty! I instantly pictured lots of those flowers on a straw bag -I used to have one when I was little and I loved it. But they were made of some kind of plastic yarn… And adult version would be so cool! 🙂
very pretty! I want one!!! I’m sure there is going to be a spike in purchases right now!
They are cute! I love the big orange one — and I even don’t like orange 😀 They are great because they can be used almost everywhere, right..? Wish you even more fun with that gizmo 🙂
ack!! i need one of those!!!
oh my gosh, elsie! that brings back memories! have fun making flowers!
xo patty 🙂
Man my great grandma had one of those. If only I had a say before it went away–:)
Very pretty flowers! I can’t wait to see what goes in the store( hint hint)
I had a lot of fun growing up making loom potholders. I have a metal one that was a hand-me-down but also a plastic one that I bought at a 5 and dime store that has now since closed. I remember buying bags of those nylon strings for potholders.
Good stuff! Thanks for the memory lane moment!
Those are amazing!
My hubby gave me a vintage loom for Christmas, and it has been SOOO much fun to play with!
made me think of you :

I’m thinking a sweater with embroidery, fabric……..so pretty
i just found one today at a thrift store for 50 cents! it came with a bag full of yarn & a half finished daisy scarf! can’t wait to complete the project! 🙂
I love my old spirograph for making cards and have used it with Gocco too-good times.
soooooo cute! i’ve been wanting to make flowers with yarn ever since i got my CUTIE CUTIE headband from RVA!
This is incredible! I saw something recently that’s similar called a knitwit. I think it was in Martha Stewart Magazine.
Your banner for your blog is fab. I love it.
how weird-i was just thinking about those the other day. i used to make them all the time back in the day, lol and make afghans with them.
thanks for bringing back memories-now i have to find some
Sooo jealous! Have fun!
I so love using yarn with the flower loom. I have only seen straw. So fun!
This looks like a lot of FUN!
Those skates bring me back… I used to have a pair just like them growing up… Enjoy them Miss Hope!!!
I love all things Vintage and Creative! I collect Needlework and Macrame 70’s Vintage Magazines.

Nice pictures shared here. I love the pictures of the flowers shown in this blog. Very impressive images. This blog will surely attract many users.
Really Pretty. Have just put one on a gift wrapped in Pale pink Tissue. I made the flower in cerise to match the cushion inside. I used Indian silk hand made paper. Thank you.
The vintage flower loom fun, is some thing that has so good to get know about, I think such information has good for knowing it and it is really nice thing to have for reading.
I am newbie here. and First time I am sending comments on your site. I would like to say about your site that It is a great source of learning and path of Information. Great Dude.
I love my vintage looms. I bought some plastic-y raffia in bright colors and have been making flowers to adorn gift bags. I’ve also made tiny ones using the middle pegs only and made them into hair clippies. So fun. Can’t wait to try them with yarn and selvege edges.
This looks beautiful and it looks like it is alot of fun. Good job.
I remember that it took me FOREVER to get my vintage looms. I do like knitting and crocheting flowers, but there is something so adorable about making loom flowers. The petals are so much fuller (depending on how much yarn you use of course), and after they are done, you can cut, and fluff them without breaking the entire flower. You can add many things including beads that make them such an enhanced original beauty.
Flowers are looking so cute i really like it. What gadget for a fun and inspiring! I could do with different fibers and beads and son of son of color. The possibilities are endless. Thank you for sharing!
