Ribbon Rose

I've always considered myself a highly-creative individual, but that doesn't mean I "get" any project put in front of me.  This Ribbon Rose "kit" was a freebie, but didn't offer any step-by-step illustrations.  Also, the ribbon included was plain--not wired.


Ribbon Rose

1 yard wired ribbon, 1-1/2 inch wide
Straight pins
Hot glue gun
1 inch bar pin

Pull wire on both ends of ribbon and gather up ribbon so it creates a loose ruffle.  Gather one end of ribbon, folding over twice and secure by wrapping excess wire around edge.  Start center of flower by loosely wrapping gathered ribbon around center of flower.  Crimp edges to give flower the effect of petals.  Pin back of flower to stay in place and hot glue the edges of back of flower.  Remove pins.  Hot glue bar pin.

Viola!  A Ribbon Rose Pin.


Arlene's Comments:  Viola?  You've gotta be kidding!  I'll wait for one of my roses to bloom, take the best one, then pin it to my clothing.  With the real deal, that makes it a lot easier, don't you think?
