Watch Us Wednesday – Hana Ami Flower Loom
We put together a playlist of YouTube videos featuring tutorials for the Hana Ami Flower Loom. This loom can be used to create flowers with a variety of fibers including yarn, raffia, and ribbon depending on the look and application of the flower. The loom is packaged with the inserts you need to create different sizes and shapes of flowers. It’s an easy and fun process to make the flowers, as you can see in the videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3wuXbDFXuE&feature=share&list=PL5CtqoNhlTkFaCl1wQi2HoqTdvxrqX1Ar
