Easy Ribbon Rose



Ribbons & Roses form the heart of Arts and Crafts. Crafty little or huge , papery or crocheted , simple or layered all sorts of flowers always spread smiles!

The art of flower making exist on planet earth since ages and we all still love to make them.

Folks ! today i am going to share a cute and easy ribbon flower tutorial with you.




                        MATERIALS :
You will need colorful ribbons of width no less than 1 cm and no more than 1 inch.
If your ribbon is below 1 cm your flower will be too small.and if it is more than 1 inch your flower will be a bit clumsy... at least i find them clumsy!

Other required things are :
Scissor
Tapestry needle and Thread
Cute colorful beads and buttons to decorate with.



Here is the step by step picture tutorial for the Ribbon flower.
In 9th step I'm making the knot with the two ends of the ribbon and after that I'm 
securing the knot with the needle and thread.
You can decorate the flower with the beads or buttons!



That's it! Really!
you can use these flowers on Brooches, DIY bags or however you wand them.
You will find yourself using them in most of your craft work!
