Abstract: A novel method of and means for forming puffs for floral arrangements from relatively small sheets of gossamer or net-like, flexible or pliable, very thin, fine mesh fabric or tulle gathered at their medial portions into fluffy butterfly shape, secured by an end portion of a fine wire of extremely small gauge looped around the gathered medial portion of each sheet and twisted upon itself, and having a mechanism for twisting the wire end portion looped around said gathered medial portion of said pliable fine mesh sheet, composed of a helically twisted spindle mounted for axial reciprocation and resiliently biased or restrained in retracted position, guide means for rotating the twisted spindle upon reciprocation thereof, and hook means at the outer end of said spindle for detachably connecting said looped wire end portion and said gathered medial sheet portion thereto whereby said wire portion is twisted upon itself when said wire is gripped and pulled longitudinally outward of said spindle.
