Loop stitch

Loop stitch

Loop stitch is useful for making clusters of small flowers or leaves.   

In the example below you will see the orange and lavender flowers which were made this way…

Use silk or organza ribbon and working over a spare tapestry needle, form a loose loop as shown below.

You could go one step further and add stamens to form little flowers:  

Use one strand of thread and make a French knot on top of each loop, or use a tiny seed bead.
