For needlewomen there is one inexhaustible theme for creativity - flower. Apparently, nature itself inspires so many experiments. From what only flowers are made: from paper, from various fabrics, from leather, from threads, from beads and plastic bottles! And what can we say about performance techniques: they are molded, sewn, knitted, glued, cut out and painted! In a word, floral motifs are an endless opportunity for creativity, fantasy and their implementation. If you are just starting your needlework journey and have not yet found your favorite techniques, try using a simple material and an uncomplicated manufacturing method. Let's start by making ribbon flowers with our own hands. Besides being fun, it's also practical. Making flowers from ribbons can become your favorite hobby. These pieces will be wonderful accessories for clothes or decoration for

bags. And what beautiful hairpins and hair bands can be made using flowers. Let's try?

So, do-it-yourself ribbon flowers. Each craftswoman has her favorite manufacturing option, there are many of them, and they all have different complexity. We will start with a simple method that does not require specialequipment and investment.

What do we need for a flower?

1. Ribbons.
2. Threads.
3. Needles.
4. Scissors.

How to make ribbon flowers? The photos presented in the article will help you. Ribbons can be bought at craft stores or where fabrics are sold. Threads and needles are likely to be found in your home.

In order to make flowers from ribbons with your own hands, you need to decide on how splendor your product will be. This will determine the length of the tape. The larger the flower, the longer the ribbon needed. And the size of the product itself will depend on the width.

Try to make a flower from a meter cut. To do this, pick up a thread to match the ribbon and thread it into a comfortable and sharp needle. Look at your ribbon - they come with different edges - and choose which edge you will string on the thread, and which will be the outer edge of the flower itself.

The photo shows how to start work. Wrap the corner and secure it. This must be done so that the threads do not come out or bristle when using the product.

The next step is to string the edge of the ribbon onto a thread. She should be tighter. You can fold the thread several times so that it does not break. Try to make small steps, then the flower will come out neat. The needle must go to the end of the product.

Now you should carefully pull off the ribbon. The edge where we laid the corner must be twisted around itself, pulling the thread.

When the whole ribbon is twisted, fasten with a needle and thread from the back so that your flower does not fall apart.

That's all miracles! Do-it-yourself flowers from ribbons are easy to make. They can be attached to a child's hairpin or hoop.

If you want to make a large flower with "torn" edges, take a wide organza ribbon and lightly singe one edge over a burning candle. The edge will turn out uneven, but this will be the whole charm. In the middle of such flowers, you can sew beads or glue rhinestones.

The space for your imagination is not limited. Try it and you will succeed.
