Ribbon Roses

Ribbon folding is a very interesting craft, it's kind of like origami, but instead of using papers, you use ribbons. The great thing about these roses - they last a very long time. This is a step by step guide on how to fold a rose with ribbon!

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

scissors
sticky green tape
green wired stem
1 yard of ribbon (atleast 1 cm wide)
clear tape

Step 1

Start on the right end of the ribbon. Fold it downwards about 1 inch (45 degree angle).
Step 2

Start rolling going left, this will be your rose center roll.
Step 3

Roll about two circles. Start by taking the long end, and fold it backwards, and wrap it around the center. Shape it into a rose as you go.
Step 4

While one hand is wrapping, make sure the other hand is holding the bottom stem part. Never let the stem go, or it will become loose.
Step 5

Repeat until you have about 1 inch of ribbon left, fold it in half, and wrap it around the stem that you started with in the beginning.
Step 6

You can wrap clear tape around the stem so that it will not loosen. Take your green wire and stick it in the ribbon stem part.
Step 7

Use 2-3 inches of your sticky green tape and wrap the stem, from the top of the stem going down.
Step 8

You can make several roses and put them in a nice vase. This makes a great decoration in your home. It also makes a great gift for the ladies in your life - on Valentine's day or Mother's Day!
