Twisted Ribbon Flower Tutorial

Easy flowers to make from ribbon.

I did a swap on Facebook and received this ribbon flower amongst it.

I asked if she had made it but it was from a shop.

It was so pretty I decided to have go.

I used Grosgrain ribbon but have also made with Satin and Organza too.

You will need 6 pieces of ribbon about 7cm x 4cm

Twist over 180 degrees.  My ribbon was the same on both sides but looks good if it isn't.

(See spotty one below)

Stitch with a quick running stitch (you dont have to be neat) along the raw edges.

                                     I have a long needle so I can fit all 6 pieces on together.

Join to make them into a circle.

Fluff about so they look even.

This is done exactly the same but use slightly longer pieces and without twisting, just put raw edges together and sew together as before.

This looks good with just a centre added too.

Add any type of centre, gems, pearls etc.

Here is the spotty one and the spots are only on one side of the ribbon but still looks good.

Hope you enjoyed.
