Hi, today i am going to show you steps in making a sattin ribbon flower shown above .Things needed
1. Sattin ribbon (color of ur choice)
2. Scissors
3. Thread and needle (matching the ribbon)
4.Beads for decoration
5. Candle
6. Foam
7. Gum (optional)
STEPS:
Cut ribbon to the lenght of your index finger for making petals using scissors. Cut 15-20 pieces or as you like depending on the size of your flower.
Now take a piece, cut and fold at one end of ribbon piece as shown in figure and fix the edge using candle.
you will get like below
Fold on the other end and fix the folding with the candle as shown below
Now your petal is ready with perfect shape as shown
Making all the petals by above procedure, below is the pic of my petals made
Stitch petals one by one to the foam using needle in circular manner to define a flower shape
The back of the flower is shown above, here its looking a little mess, but you can make it better those who know stitching well. We can use gum instead of stitching also to fix the petals to foam. I preffered stitching as it is strong and lasts long and washable also.
After completing a layer, make two more layers to have a close look of flower, but I did only two layers here to jus define the flower. After completion of the flower stitch a bead like a bud on the flower.
Here...the flower is done. We can decorate hairbands, clips, and frocks n gowns of you and ur little ones with these beautiful flower matching in dressing.
