ABSTRACT:
An artificial flower making method is provided in which realistic looking pom-pon type flowers are fashioned from a single strand of yarn or twice, suitably of the heavy knitting yarn type, by first arranging a portion of the yarn on a novel notched circular template to form six or other even number of yarn spokes, spirally weaving and interlocking the remainder of the yarn with said spokes from the center outward to cover a major portion of the area of said template, joining the starting and finishing ends of the yarn to each other and to a deformable stem member at the center of said template, cutting the yarn portions at the center of the reverse side of the template to thereby release the woven assemblage from the template, and inverting the woven assemblage by bringing said reverse side cut yarn portions around to, and joining them to said stem member, whereby the side of the woven assemblage which had been adjacent the template bulges outwardly to a puffed pom-pon like configuration. When the yarn and stem assemblage is wrapped with florest green tape and interwrapped with appropriate artificial leaves, the resulting artificial flower is suitable for many type floral arrangements.
The novel template can comprise a simple rigid flat sheet of essentially circular contour having six or other even number of equally spaced notches in its outer perimeter having a depth somewhat greater than the diameter of the yarn being used, and an aperture or other characterizing means indicating the geometric center of the template. In a preferred adaptation the working side of the template will have slightly raised center and peripheral edge portions to support the yarn spokes in slightly spaced relation to the surface of the template.
