I love making flowers out of ribbon and fabric. Here are a couple of patterns that I have available in my shop.
Today we are sharing one of our favorites. Its simple and uses only ribbon and elastic.
Ribbon flower Tutorial
Ingredients:
50 inches of ribbon (I used 7/8 inch ribbon and 3/8 inch grosgrain ribbon, but you can use just one or a combination of several)
30 inches of ¼ inch elastic
Hot glue
thread
Hair Clip or pin
Small piece of fabric
Directions:
Follow the directions above, but use one continuous piece of ribbon
Also, when using ribbon you need to seal the ends of the ribbon by either using fray check, a match, a lighter, or a heat gun. It really does not matter the method you just don’t want your ribbon to fray/unravel
1. Sew the ribbon onto the elastic. Make sure to pull the elastic as tight as possible.
