BeginnerFreeLarge and small ribbon roses are ideal for decorating clothing, bags, scarves, and festive displays. These flowers can be made in different sizes: small ones are embroidered with ribbon and a needle, while medium and large ones are twisted from satin, silk, and organza. I suggest making flat ribbon roses on a felt base in two ways. Even beginners can manage this, and children can learn to make artificial flowers with adult help.
Method 1
Cut a circle from firm felt; its diameter should match the size of the future flower. Mark the center and make a cut with sharp scissors. Form a small raised “funnel” and secure it with hot glue. When the base has set, glue the end of the satin ribbon in place.
Fold the ribbon to shape petals, securing each one with a drop of glue. You can use two colors of ribbon folded together for this flower; it makes the rose fuller and more lifelike.
Method 2
Make these flowers from twisted ribbon or a narrow strip of fabric. They are also made on a felt base, but the circle stays flat; there is no need to cut or glue it.
Put a drop of hot glue in the center of the felt and secure the ribbon. Twist it into a cord and gradually glue it around the perimeter in a spiral.
As the sample shows, this rose is softer and fuller.
These flowers can be any size. Use them to make bouquets and greeting cards or to decorate pillows, rugs, and interiors.
