Silk Ribbon Flowers

Make bouquets of silk ribbon flowers for the bridal party. Cut 12 inches of ribbon that is at least one-inch wide. Slip stitch along one edge of the ribbon. Pull the ribbon tight along the stitching to form a bunched up flower. Sew the raw ends of the ribbon together.
Decorate your flower with glitter, fabric glue or glue on rhinestones. Attach the ribbon flower to a "stalk" in the form of a green pipe cleaner or floral wire through the center of the ribbon flower. Make up a bunch of these flowers and use them in bouquets, boutonnieres and other decorations.

Cut eight pieces of thin ribbon about six inches long. Lay them across one another so they intersect at the middle of each ribbon. Place a couple of stitches in the center to hold the ribbon together. Fold the ends of the ribbons over so the edges meet in the center. Place a dot of glue on top to secure in place. Glue a button to the center to cover the raw edges of ribbon. Attach some floral wire to the back of the ribbon for the stem. Make up a bunch of these for bouquets.
