- scissors.
- thermo gun.
- the basis for the brooch.
- tweezers.
- St. George ribbon 2.5 cm wide.
- ruler.
- white half beads, 5 mm in diameter.

Making a brooch.
The decoration consists of two separate pieces, a spikelet and a loop. First you need to make a three-color spikelet. To do this, you will need satin ribbons in three shades: blue, white and red.
From these ribbons you should prepare segments, each 5.5 cm long. As a result, you will get 7 parts: 2 blue, 2 red and 3 white.

Now you need to make blanks from each segment. To do this, the rectangular part should be placed with the wrong side up and bent exactly in the center at an angle of 45 degrees.

You will get a small fold line, which also needs to be folded in half. As a result, the cut lines of this segment will connect at one point, and the part will turn out to be double with a pointed corner at the top.

Holding the combined sections with your fingers, they need to be folded into several small folds and held in this position with tweezers.

The edge of the tape must be cut a little with scissors to align it. Then the cut needs to be strongly scorched with fire in order to solder the layers of tape and secure the edge of the part in the desired position.

This turns out to be a petal for the future spikelet.

The same blanks should be created from each prepared segment.

Now the petals need to be connected in pairs with glue, in accordance with the color.

The remaining free one white petal needs to be attached between the parts of the same color glued together, but also on the wrong side.

All the parts are ready, you can connect the spikelet together. The red pair of parts needs to be combined with the blue pair, slightly overlapping the edges.

Then the blue petals need to be glued on top of the white parts.

The result is a spikelet of ribbons in three shades, corresponding to the colors of the Russian flag. The spikelet is ready, you need to put it aside. Now you will need a St. George ribbon 18.5 cm long.

The sections of this tape must be cut with a zigzag.

Then, both edges should be carefully singed, being careful not to deform the tape.

After this, stepping back 4 cm from the edge of the tape, you need to make a mark for further orientation.

Then the second edge of the St. George ribbon should be placed over this mark, crossing them.

At the intersection of the two edges of the tape, you need to place a little glue to secure their location. The result is a neat loop.

Next you will need a spikelet; it must be attached on top of the prepared loop of St. George's ribbon. It should be positioned at a slight angle to the right.
