Posh Pooch Designs : Summer Flower Hanging Mandala

How To Make A
Summer Flower Hanging Mandala

By Sara Sach of

The Summer Flower Hanging Mandala is Made from

left over yarn from Caron Chunky Cakes yarn,

and a 14 inch wooden hoop I got from a

Garage Sale about 10 years ago.

This New Piece of Yarn Art is going to look wonderful

in my Yarn Studio. I love the simplicity of it.

I didn't change colors, used the colors as they came.

What You Need To Make One:

Yarn - Caron Chunky Cakes about 3 - 4 oz.

Crochet Hook - K /6.50MM

14 inch Wooden Embroidery Hoop

Yarn Needle

Hot Glue Gun and Glue

Size: 14 inches

I used my Pattern for the Summer Flower

Doily at this LINK

I crocheted the Flower exactly the same, only I used the Chunky yarn and K hook, And I added 2 more Rows before the trim.

Adding an additional chain between the corners and

single crochet, for each row.

I then laid the Summer Flower A cross the inside hoop,

and slid on the out side hoop.

Making sure the corners of the flower were between the hoops.

I used Hot glue to seal the hoops together, by placing a

bead of glue along the seam, around the back of the hoops.

I pressed them together with my fingers for a few seconds.

I threaded a piece of the yarn and tacked together each

petal of the flower around the hoop.

The last thing I did was make a chain about 25 chains

long and attach it to the top of the hoop.

I made sure the Glue was dry and I hung it it up!

I love how it turned out.

You can add fringe, tassels or whatever you like to dress

it up, But I like it just as it is.
