Flowers are back in style: How to make them step by step
High fashion has brought them back in a big way in chokers, hair ties, belts, and bracelets.
Satin ribbon flowers are the most popular, but we suggest making them with organza ribbons – they will look beautiful on a headband, a ribbon bracelet, or a lovely updo!
These fabric ribbon flowers or rosettes will become a perfect accessory for any party outfit or even to embellish sweaters and fabric bags.
We can also take inspiration from top designers and create bracelets and chokers with the same ribbon. They can even be used to decorate a table or any corner of the house (if you own a haberdashery, they can be used to decorate the storefront).
As we always say, our proposal serves as a guide. With the same technique, you can create flowers of different sizes for various occasions.
Do you want to see how these flowers are made with organza ribbon? We’ll explain the materials you’ll need and the step-by-step process with all the photos.
Materials you need to make flowers with organza ribbon:
- Manubens organza ribbon in different widths and colors
- Needle for sewing wool, as thin as possible
- Scissors
- Lighter
Cut 40 cm of ribbon. Cut one end at an angle to make it thin.
Fold the ribbon in the preferred width and color like an accordion.
Insert the needle through the center of the accordion and thread the thin end.
Lower the needle, making it rotate on itself. The ribbon will spin in a circle.
When you have the desired size, finish pulling the needle out from the other end.
Cut a bit of excess ribbon, and burn the rest to seal it. Then you can open the flower a bit with your fingers.
How does the garden look? We find it beautiful.
You can try combining two different colors (or even two shades within the same color palette). The result will surprise you.
If you like this type of accessory, take a look at these beautiful hair bows; they are also a fun addition.
Remember that you can use the hashtag #Manubens when you post your creations on social media.
