How to Make Flowers Using Satin Ribbon

After big projects, I take a break by tackling small ones that I can do within the day. Yesterday, I made this flower using a satin ribbon. Isn’t this beautiful? I learned about this idea through Petal Art on Youtube. I still can’t believe how gorgeous it turned out! You can glue it to any hair accessory or use it as an embellishment for bags, hats, dresses, or objects. Watch the video below for full instructions.

Materials:

• 1-inch satin ribbons (3 colors)
• 0.55-inch green satin ribbon for the leaves
• stamens
• felt
• hair elastic
• glue gun
• lighter

Instructions:

Step 1:

Make 9 pieces of 1-inch squares of satin ribbon. Get one of the squares and fold it in half diagonally. Get the tips and fold toward the center.  Fold it in half then heat the tips with a lighter. Repeat with the remaining squares.

Step 2:

Glue 6 pieces together to make a flower. After that, glue the remaining 3 pieces on top.

Step 3:

Twist the stamens together and insert them in the center of the flower.

Step 4:

Make two more of these flowers in different colors.

Step 5:

Glue the three flowers together, then attach more stamens in between each flower.

Step 6:

Cut a 2-inch from the 0.55-inch satin ribbon. Fold the right corner of the ends toward the center to make a triangle, then fold it in half. Using a tweezer, pinch the straight edge, then fold the ends upward. Trim off some of the ends and heat to stop it from fraying. Repeat the process to make 3 more leaves.

Step 7:

Glue the leaves at the back of the flower.

Step 8:

Cut a small piece of ribbon and glue the middle onto the inner part of the elastic. Next, cut a small circle from the felt. The circle should be a little bit smaller than the flower. Cut two small vertical lines on the felt paper for the ribbon. Insert the ends of the ribbon into the holes, then glue them onto the felt.

Step 9:

Glue the back of the flower to the felt.
