Satin ribbon is an excellent material for the manufacture of a wide variety of products. Bows, hair ornaments, brooches are made from ribbons of various widths and colors; they are used instead of thread for embroidery. I propose to try to make a flower out of a wide pink satin ribbon with which you can decorate a photo frame or decorate curtains.

Satin Ribbon Flower


In order to make such a flower, you need to prepare such materials and tools:
• Wide satin ribbon in bright color
• Sharp scissors
• Clamp for fabric
• Transparent waterproof glue
• fishing line
• Medium pink beads
• Beautiful button
• White beaded cabin
• Lighter or candle

First you need to make the flower petals. The tape must be cut into rectangles so that one side is twice as large as the other. In other words, if we take a tape 5 cm wide, then the rectangles should be 5X10 cm. The corners of the rectangles fold down to the middle.

Then we connect the two sides of the workpiece together and fix the lower edge with a tissue clip. If there is no clamp, you can use tweezers.

Cut the bottom edge with sharp scissors and seal the cut with a lighter. Scissors must be sharp, otherwise you can hopelessly ruin the workpiece. Such petals need to cook 8-10 pieces. The number of petals depends on the width of the ribbon - the wider the ribbon we take to make the petals, the more they will need to be made.

Cut the bottom edge with sharp scissors


When all the petals are ready, you can start picking the flower. From a satin ribbon, cut out a circle and process its edges with the flame of a candle or lighter. Then on this circle we paste all prepared petals. To make the flower look beautiful, when pasting, we use the clockwise rule, that is, first we glue two petals opposite each other (for 12 and 6 hours). Then evenly distribute the remaining petals between the pasted

Leave the flower to dry, but for now, we are going to make additional parts. Take a fishing line and cut it into pieces of 7-10 cm. We leave a few pieces of ribbon as they are and simply glue them in the middle between the petals. And from three pieces we will make blanks from the cabin and beads.

The upper bead can be fixed using a loop, the edge of which will hide under the wheelhouse. The lower edge of the fishing line must be melted with a lighter or a candle and pressed with your fingers to the extreme bead.

Lock the top bead


We paste the prepared blanks into the center of the flower. First you need to squeeze a large drop of transparent glue into the middle, then insert one piece of the blank with the beads, then place the fishing line segments in the same order in the same place. Then you need to decorate the core of the flower. To do this, take any beautiful button that is in the house, put a little glue on it and place it in the center.

So it’s easy to make a bright, beautiful flower from a wide satin ribbon. It remains only to decide what he will decorate.
