Satin ribbons are an excellent material for embodying creative ideas. They have not only the most different colors, but also the size, and even the thickness. From the strips of satin, voluminous bows and flowers, butterflies and whole paintings on the fabric are obtained. It is convenient to work with them, since the side edges of the fabric are processed and do not split, and the cuts are perfectly melted with a candle or a lighter.

Satin ribbons are used for embroidery, combining wide and thin strips in the composition. Pictures look bright and original, as the fabric is shiny. In the article, we will consider several options for using satin stripes. The samples shown in the photos will give a clearer idea of the final result.

How to make a rose

A rose from satin ribbons can be created in several ways. Consider how to make a lush flower from cut segments. To begin with, a tape 4 cm wide is cut into equal segments 10 cm long. It is necessary to prepare 12-15 pieces. For the central bud, a segment is cut out larger, about 15 cm. The middle of the rose is made of satin ribbonsperform first by folding the corner of the fabric at a right angle, then make another turn and the bottom edge is fastened with stitches with a simple thread to match the fabric. Then they perform a couple more turns of matter around themselves and additionally strengthen them with seams. When the middle is ready, you can start working on creating the petals. The photo shows that the segments are folded with corners to the center so that right angles are formed. It should be noted that the strips of fabric are folded on the wrong side. The lower part is stitched along the base line with stitches. It is better to choose a thread of the same color as the flower petals.

Further, do-it-yourself satin ribbons make a rose. The petals are attached around the central bud with the right side up. They are distributed around the entire circumference of the flower in a checkerboard pattern so that every detail is clearly visible. Looks beautiful crafts made of different colors. You can add a rose with a few green leaves. At the end of the work, the flower is turned over to the other side and the excess fabric is cut off (up to the seams). The rose itself can be glued to the felt base with a glue gun. This makes it more convenient to place the finished product on a hoop or sew it on an elastic band for hair, stick it on a gift box or a holiday card.

Rose embroidery

Flowers from satin ribbons are not always made as separate parts, often a rose is sewn into a fabric to decorate clothes, create a flower arrangement for a wall panel. Consider how you can sew a flower into the main fabric using a needle with a wide eye. Alsoyou will need a hook, a thread matched to the tone of a satin ribbon, scissors. Work begins in the same way as in the previous version, that is, first the middle is made, a twisted bud.

The only difference between this model and the previous one is the sewing of a tape rolled up by the corners to the bud. They take a segment 30 cm long and sew it to the middle from below, then turn the tape for each petal at a right angle to the base. From below, with stitches, the edge of the strip is attached to the previous turn.

The completed middle is cut from the bottom so that the bundle of fabric is not too voluminous. Next, take a needle with a wide eye and insert a satin ribbon into the hole. The petals are arranged around the entire circumference around the middle. Each loop is carefully leveled with a hook. It is necessary to ensure that all the petals have the same length at the same level. The lower ring is made from larger loops, and the middle one is slightly smaller. If you do not need to sew a rose onto the fabric, you can use a glue gun to attach the loops. Then cut the tape into equal segments.
