Friday Tip: How to Make a Ribbon Flower

This is ever so easy! All you need is a thread and a needle. What you would need to do is stitch along one side of your ribbon. After doing this, you will need to pull the thread from the end to bunch up the ribbon. Be sure to move your bunching further up the ribbon, so you can pull the thread more. Gather enough “bunched up” ribbon to rotate in a circle to form your flower for about three times around.

Ok, ok!! Yes, I realize that some of you out there don’t even “own” thread and a needle. Not all is lost. You “too” can make a cute little ribbon flower. All you would need to do is have the “correct” type of ribbon. Guess what? Pebbles has the perfect ribbon for this flower sold in these cute little collection packs. In fact, I used it in my example below – no sewing involved. However, I did stitch my leafs. Below is a visual tutorial for you:
