I am trying to recreate this spirograph in illustrator but i cannot seem to find the right steps and actions to build this particular one. It has a unique floral shape and loops through the shape. If anyone could help me that would be appreciated with what you did to achieve this spirograph. I've been at it for a while now.

This guilloche could be recreated using the application Excentro (don't know if it's still available for any current operating systems). But Illustrator can't do it.
The closest I could get off the top of my head was two zig-zag transform effects expanded and then blended. But it doesn't have the same quality as the original.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out. I have found an interesting article https://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-create-vector-spirograph-designs--vector-1140 about creating spirograph. Hope it helps.
Regards,
Ashutosh

Hi Doug, that's close enough to the effect you are loooking ..what steps did you follow to get this shape? I'm looking to get the same lines effect in a O letter.

I made an ellipse and gave it a zig-zag effect to approximate the maximum-width line, then another to approximate the minimum-width line, rotated one and then blended them. Duplicate that blend, then flip it.
