Blooming Baker's Twine

Hi there! It's Stephanie here to share a fun way to use The Twinery's colorful, wonderful baker's twine to make flower petals.

Before we get started making these sweet flowers, I thought this was a neat alternative to the typical tag. I stamped my sentiment, cut it out, punched 2 holes at the top, & hung it like a picture frame from the top of the gift bag.

To attach it to the bag, I punched 2 holes at the top, threaded maraschino twine through, & made a bow around the honeydew knot to secure it in place.

Now let's start making these little cuties:

First gather your supplies. Here I have my hole puncher, baker's twine, and pattern paper.

1. Punch 2 holes in the center of the flower & thread twine through.

2. Wrap twine around the tips of 2 fingers 4-5 times.

3. Slip the twine bundle from finger tips & secure onto paper.

4. Tie a bow to hold the twine in place.

Lastly, fluff up the "petals" & trim the ends of the bow to blend in.

And there you have a cute twine flower :)

For this mini card I used the same technique on a chipboard flower & a button.

Just imagine all the things you could embellish using your baker's twine along with this simple technique!

I hope this idea inspires an upcoming project or two for you :)

The Twinery baker's twine is so easy & fun to work with, start creating!

Have a great day!
