Ribbon Roses Tutorial

 

A few people on facebook crafting groups I am in have asked me how I make my ribbon roses.

So here is a quick tutorial on how to make them.

 

1. Select the ribbon you want to use and the length you want to use

 

 

2. Fold the ribbon in the centre in a 90 degree angle

 

3. Fold the bottom piece of ribbon up and the right piece left to keep a 90 degree angle in the centre

 

4. Then fold the top piece back down and the left piece to the right

 

 

5. Repeat the above steps until there is no more ribbon left to fold over

 

 

6.Grip the final fold between 2 fingers tightly, letting the rest fall.

 

7. Pull one of the ribbon pieces outwards and watch as your flower begins to form.

 

8. Turn your hand over still keeping hold tight and pull the ribbon more to tighten up the flower until it is suitable. Then glue both the ribbon ends in place and trim.

 

9. Your flower should now be finished :)

 

Depending on the length and width of the ribbon you use, will depend on the size and fullness of the flower

 

Many thanks for looking and hope this helps :)

See you all again soon x
