Roses from ribbons with their own hands

There are several different instructions on how to make roses from ribbons by yourself. Applying various techniques, we receive flowers, different in form and design. By combining different techniques, you can create an original composition for decorating, say, a cushion or a casket, upholstered in fabric.

Stock Rose

For creating stock of roses You need a ribbon with a width of 6.5 cm and a length of 50 cm. The narrower the ribbon, the lesser length you will need.

Face down, fold the tape in half. Sew the tape from the corner of the edge. The first few stitches should be made at an angle of 45 degrees. Continue to tape along the bend to the end. Finish the marking again at an angle of 45 degrees to the upper corner of the ribbon bend.

Pull the ends of the thread and a littlepick up the ribbon. The first ribbon curl should be well fixed with a few stitches. Then wind the ribbon around the bud, fixing each turn of the ribbon with stitches.

Twisted Rose

Twisted roses from the tapes you can make with your own hands monophonic or bicolour. You can also vary their sizes using wide or narrower tapes.

To choose the length of the tape for manufacturing,multiply its width by 10. For example, if you have a tape 4 cm wide, the length of the tape used will be 40 cm. In this case, we get a flower bud. To create a completely dissolved flower, you should take the tape longer.

In order to make a twisted rose,Twist the edge of the tape two or three times, about half a centimeter. This part should be bent in half along the width of the tape, try to make a bend at a slight angle. Continue to wrap the folded edge. Do not forget to level it at the top of the bend.

Making an almost full turn of the tape around the centerbud, bend the tape outward at an angle of 20 to 45 degrees. Following this principle, wrap the tape to its end. The end of the tape should be secured by making a few stitches with a needle and thread.

Using the same principle, you can make roses from two ribbons of different colors. To do this, you can simply put them together and continue to make a rose according to the above principle.

Pleated Rose

To create pleated rose, you will need a thin tape. Select the desired length and fold the tape in half. While holding the central fold of the tape, fold one half of the tape up at a right angle. Make sure that the resulting crease is on the edge of the tape. Keep it up all the time so you do not start all the work again. Now, again, bend the lower half of the tape upward at a right angle. Many in this way folded the accordion of their paper in their childhood. Continue to fold the accordion to the end of the tape.

Now you can clamp the free ends of the tape andrelease the accordion so that it "straightens up." Gently, holding the ends of the tape, pull one of them. Continue to pull until you have a rose in your hands, and the folds do not move to the base of the flower.

You can fasten such a rose with a needle. To do this, enter the needle and thread into the base of the rose and make a stitch. Now pass the needle through the center of the rose and return it by making another inconspicuous stitch. After that, firmly fix the thread on the base of the flower. The excess tape should be cut off.

Rose from pieces of ribbons

Rose from pieces of ribbons looks very natural and beautiful. To create such roses from ribbons with your own hands, you will need several small lengths of ribbon of short length (about 7 to 10 cm each), English pins and a needle with a thread.

Take one ribbon, bend its right edgeAt an angle of 90 degrees, leaving the left edge free, fix it with a pin. The bent edge bend once again and fix it, having made pair of stitches. Do the same with the free left edge of the tape. The bud is ready.

To make a petal, take another oneribbon and tuck both its upper edges by 0.7 mm, fasten them with pins. Now bend the corners of the tape at an angle of 90 degrees, aligning the slices so that they coincide (a triangle is formed). Pin the edges with pins, then sweep the edge with a thread. Before sewing a petal, it should not be so tightly wrapped around the resulting bud and fastened with a pin. Now you can sew a second petal. In the same way do the following petals and sew them to the flower.

If you take two or three shades of ribbons, then you can get a very beautiful rose, whose color will vary from the middle to the edges.
