Ribbon Flowers

Items needed:
Ribbons (Different width sizes)
Button
Needle
Thread
Glue
Craft pin
Scissors








Step 1:
Cut the two different ribbons into 3 equal lengths. Make sure that the ribbon with a wider width is longer than the thinner one. I cut mine 22cm and 18cm respectively.

Step 2:
Take one ribbon, fold it into half and make a crease. Then fold both sides of the ribbon to the crease line.

Step 3:
Make sure that the ribbon overlaps each other. Then sew it to secure the shape of the ribbon. Use normal stitches, up and down making sure that each stitch secures the ribbon.

Step 4:
Take the second ribbon and repeat Step 2. Then put it across the ribbon made in Step 3. Sew it together to secure the shape of the ribbon.

Step 5:
Take the third ribbon and repeat Step 2. This time put the ribbon diagonally on the ribbon made in Step 4. Sew it together to secure the shape of the ribbon. You have made the base of the flower.

Step 6:
Take the thin ribbon and repeat Step 2 - Step 5. You have made a flower.

Step 7:
You can secure a coloured button in the centre by sewing or gluing it onto the ribbon. Now you have a ribbon flower!!!

Step 8:
You can sew the flower onto your bag, glue a craft pin behind and use it as a brooch or pin it on your favourite purse.

Use your creativity by mixing and matching different types, patterns and coloured ribbons to create a variety of ribbon flowers. Here are some examples to start you off.
