How to make a flower from a satin ribbon?

You will need:
• Iron and board.
• Satin ribbons of different shades and sizes for petals and leaves.
• A chalk, a marker for the fabric or a ballpoint pen (a pencil slides over the atlas).
• Heavy paper for creating flower patterns.
• Sharp scissors.
• A candle or lighter (you can match) to melt the edges of the petals.
• Glue.
• Large crystals or rhinestones to decorate the middle of the flowers.
Look at these flowers from satin ribbons. With your hands, you can make not only roses, but other varieties of elegant plants.
• Make one pattern of such elements from the paper: a petal (its size depends on the desired value of the product), a sheet and a circle-base.
• Mark the tape. You need 10 petals, 2 leaves (green satin) and 1 circle for the middle of the flower.
• Cut out the details.
• Use a flame of a candle or a lighter to carefully process all edges of the flower parts. To avoid an accident during this process, keep a bowl of water at hand.
• Glue the crease at the base of each petal and press it down to create voluminous flowers. From the satin ribbons with their own hands, it's easy to make solid patterns that resemble rosettes (it's enough to assemble a piece of tape into an assembly). In this case, there is no need to treat the slices of the petals with fire.
• The last operation is the connection of all fragments. On a circle-basis, all petals and leaves are gradually pasted. Completing the installation of a central crystal or bead.

These are the general principles of creating colors from satin ribbons. When you master this technology, you can make them from other materials.
