There are many different techniques for making fabric flowers. One of the relatively uncomplicated ways is to roll roses from a ribbon. The resulting flowers can be used to decorate a gift box, trim a dress, decorate a hairpin or scrap object.
It is necessary
- - satin ribbon;
- - threads;
- - sewing needle.
Instructions
Step 1
In one of the ways of folding a rose from a ribbon, the center of the flower is formed by pulling one of the ends of the ribbon inside the bundle. To make such a rose, choose a time when you can do needlework without being distracted by other things. The process of folding a flower is not difficult, but if you interrupt it without completing it, the workpiece will bloom.
Step 2
Prepare a piece of satin ribbon about a meter long. The length of the material depends on its width: a narrow ribbon will need one rosette less than a wide one. If the atlas was not stored on a roll, iron it to avoid getting a too wrinkled flower.
Step 3
Fold the tape in half lengthwise. Turn the end that ends up at right angles to the other half of the tape.
Step 4
Bend the bottom end of the tape so that it rests on top of the resulting corner. As a result, the other end of the tape was already at the bottom. Move it up by folding the satin at the intersection of the ribbons. In this way, fold all the material until you have ponytails no more than five centimeters long. In the process, hold the resulting stack so that it does not slip out and dissolve.
Step 5
After almost all of the satin is folded, grab the intersection of the ribbons with your fingers and gently pull on the lower end of the ribbon without letting go of the upper edge. The satin garland that you get will gradually shorten. At the same time, watch the end of the garland: being drawn into the resulting bundle, it will turn into the middle part of the rose.
Step 6
The shape of a flower made in this way largely depends on the case. As soon as the rose gets its final, from your point of view, appearance, twist the ribbons at the base of the flower and secure them with thread. If you pulled out too long a section of the ribbon, the flower will not turn out very lush. In this case, iron the tape and fold it again.
Step 7
In this way, you can make a rose not only from a heavy satin, but also from an airy, translucent nylon ribbon. Such a flower, complemented by a small detail of a different color, is suitable for decorating gift wrapping. Roses, folded in this way from a ribbon with a thin metal wire sewn into the edge, look good.
