jumbo sized flower loom flowers
perusing the aisles of the 99cent store the other day, i saw these packages of brightly colored polyethelene rope.
my first thought was that it looked and felt like jumbo sized plastic raffia. my second thought was how awesome would it be to make jumbo sized flower loom flowers with this stuff? totally awesome!!
i wondered how i could make a giant flower loom, then i remembered socorro’s set of knifty knitters. the yellow one is the biggest at 11″ across, which is just about the perfect size to accomodate the plastic rope. i followed the basic flower loom instructions, and used every other peg to wrap the rope around.
jumbo sized flower loom flowers=jumbo sized fun!!!
i can fit three of them into a big envelope, want them? leave a comment and my little helper will pick a recipient a week from today.

Love these! They’d look great in my basement where we’ve got some vintage flower wall decals on the wall.

I love these! They would look great in my studio or in my girls bedroom! One for me and the rest for them? Or maybe my kitchen? Too hard to choose!

These are great-I really like super sized projects. What is the name of the store that you found the cord in?

These are very cool! When I first saw the photo on Craft Magazine Daily I thought they were much smaller. Such a clever idea.

Would love to have these as samples for our girls groups to try …. we run 5 girls groups at the Saugeen First Nation Reserve and I would love the girls to learn a new craft – do you know where you get the looms as well

I have not seen the plastic rope here in the states, gonna look though.
What a nifty idea for the grandkids to make when they need something to do.
Me too! Mary B
