Instructions:

Step 1:

Measure 2 inches of satin ribbon, fold and cut using scissors. Heat the edges to stop them from fraying. Fold in half diagonally, then fold in half twice. Cut the tip and use a tweezer to hold it. Lightly heat it to stop it from fraying. Next, cut a small part of the bottom and hold it with the tweezer. Lightly heat to stick them together. Now you have one petal. Repeat the process to make 7 more pieces.

Step 2:

Run a needle with a thread on the tip of a petal, then followed by a white bead. Continue alternating the beads and petals. Once they are all in the thread, pass your needle to the first petal to connect the last bead and make the flower. Create a knot to secure, then cut the excess thread.

Step 3:

With the white satin ribbon, cut a circle with a 1.18 inches diameter. Add glue around the edges of the circle and stick it to the back of the beads.

Step 4:

Glue the small beads around the circle, then finish it by gluing the big bead in the center.
