Satin ribbon rosette

Of course, you can start with the simplest. To easily do unusual and complex things, you need to understand the basic techniques for creating products from satin ribbons. And it's best to see it step by step in a master class.

Step by step description

1. Although tulips, dandelions, hyacinths, primroses, and many other flowers are rolled from ribbons, the most popular flower among the craftswomen is the rose. Roses are made most often using the kanzashi technique. For the flower, choose a ribbon of the desired color, five centimeters wide. Cut the edge of the tape exactly and melt it with a lighter so that it doesn't fall off. After that, lay the ribbon so that its wrong side is facing up.
2. Fold down the upper left corner (in the pictures of the master class there are arrows and fold lines are indicated by a dotted line), and fold the lower left corner to the right two times.
3. Take a needle and thread of the same color as your ribbon. Fasten the resulting fold (the thread should be long, because you will have to sew the entire tape later).
4. Connect the two layers of tape, passing stitches from the fixed place to the right (from the edge, this should be about one to two millimeters) and stop at the edge of the top tape.
5. Fold the long edge of the tape to the left (in the direction of the arrow), and then fold the entire tape up to the right at an angle.
6. Make sure the right sides match up and you have three layers. Sew them together, up from the bottom corner. Then stop, but do not cut the thread, but tuck the tape down, as shown by the dotted line in the photo master class.
7. Then turn at an angle to the left and stitch again, only to the left along the upper edge. After joining the three layers, tuck the tape in an arrowed direction to the right, then at an angle downward, and continue sewing.
8. When there are enough wrinkles (this will take about fifty centimeters of tape), run stitches along the edge of the last one, grabbing two layers. Trim excess material and melt it with fire, but leave the thread.
9. Tighten the thread and you will succeed whole line petals. Start shaping the bud. The first petal must be made from the very beginning of the tape, pulling the thread where you secured the two folds. Twist it around these folds and you have the middle of the flower.
10. Take another needle and thread and pull together the bottom edges of the petals. Then form a second petal, wind it around the bud and sew it in the same way from below.
11. Continue on the same principle, adjusting the petals using the thread tension. If you get a larger assembly on the bud, then your rose will also be larger, looking like a blossoming beautiful flower... And you can do a little tension, and then a delicate bud will come out.
12. Then twist the thread to the end and hem each petal from below. Secure and cut the thread carefully. Spread your flower out.

Depending on how you want to use the rose, its bottom can be sealed with a piece of felt or ribbon, sewn to leaves, attached to a safety pin (for a brooch), a hairpin or a hoop, etc. Such a delicate and beautiful product will be a great decoration or gift for spring holidays like March 8th.

Little roses - just

Poppy from ribbons

In the master classes, there are other ways to create different colors with your own hands. For example, you can cut a lot of parts from a satin ribbon separately, resembling leaves and petals in shape. Then burn them, form a flower and glue the elements together, decorating them with beads or sequins.

Bridal bouquet of ribbons

The flowers made can then be sewn onto the fabric or embroidered with satin ribbons directly on the canvas, making various paintings and panels. Using the same technique, it is easy to make many roses for wedding bouquet the bride. All that remains is to make the base on which the flowers will be attached.

Easter eggs with ribbon decor

If you want to decorate Easter eggs, you can either simply wrap the blank with a cloth and then decorate with flowers or ribbon bows, or use the "artichoke" technique - fold ribbons different color in the manner of fish scales and glue them to the surface of the egg.

In a similar way, you can paste over the balls, and then you will get original Christmas tree decorations or just interior decorations.

Basket of ribbons for a bouquet

To make an unusual basket, take a piece of oval soap and attach safety pins on top and bottom of it in a circle (their number should be the same, and you need to place them on the soap at a distance of about six to eight millimeters from each other - just stick them into the bar of soap ).

Then take the ribbon (not very wide - about one to two centimeters), secure one edge of it with a pin and braid the walls of the basket as follows: cling the ribbon to the top pin, then lower it down, cling to the lower one and lift it up, continuing and further until all walls will not be braided.

You will be left with a long end at the bottom - you will need it to braid the bottom edge and form the collar. Then you will need to move it up to arrange the top edge. Use the remaining ends of the ribbon to create a bow. Make wire for the basket and the handle and braid it with tape of the same color or make an assembly out of it.

Attach the ends of the handle to the soap and decorate the basket. You can put primroses in it and give it to your friend or mother on March 8, or you can decorate it in any other way.

Making so beautiful and unusual crafts Is a great way to show your imagination and creativity and make nice gifts yourself or loved ones.

My advice to you, try to make any fancy copy using one of the techniques, and you will feel all the nuances of the method you have chosen and master it faster.

Preparation for needlework

• Any tapes you like different colors and sizes
• Needles and threads
• Sharp scissors
• Glue gun
• Tweezers
• Centerpieces for flowers or beads, sequins
• Floristic sleeve (or tube to thicken the stem).

Also prepare a work table with a table lamp.

Kanzashi

With the kanzashi technique, my acquaintance with flowers from satin ribbons began. This technique came to us from Japan, kanzashi decorate hairpins or hairpins.

Girls' hairstyles bloom with gorgeous flowers thanks to such hairpins. Due to the fashion for kanzashi, more and more needlewomen are mastering this completely simple technique.

In addition to the prepared materials mentioned above, take a ruler, chalk for patterns and a candle to singe the tips.

Three types of leaves are used in kanzashi: round, long and sharp.

• To begin with, cut a 5 cm wide satin ribbon into squares, of course the same.
• We take a square and fold the corners to each other, as shown in the photo, and lower the extreme corners to the lower central corner.
• Then we wind the side corners back and clamp them with tweezers.
• The lower cut, if necessary, is cut off and melted over the candle.
• Thus, a round petal is obtained, of which several pieces need to be made.
• We collect the finished petals on a thread, fold them into a flower and glue them to the base, fasten the bead in the middle with a glue gun.

Congratulations on your first kanzashi flower!

I present to you several videos of master classes on how to make flowers from ribbons.

Note!

Creation of double petals using the kanzashi technique, from which the cutest butterflies and beautiful snowflakes are obtained.

Fused petals

Another way to create flowers from ribbons is with fused petals. This method is good for making large flower arrangements, for example, I made a basket with roses.

However, there are some nuances here:

• Not all ribbons work well for these colors;
• Melted petals do not look as neat as kanzashi;
• It may not work right away, you need to "fill your hand".

A more suitable material for creating these colors is nylon ribbons.

Manufacturing instructions.

• We make a pattern in the shape of a half heart, as shown in the photo;
• Next, cut out the petals in 7 pieces of large, 7 pieces of medium and the same number of small ones;
• The edges of each petal you cut out are melted over the candle, after this treatment the petals become voluminous;
• We collect petals on a thread in checkerboard, with a slight overlap, then the flower will be magnificent;
• We attach the beads to the core.
• The flower is ready.

Note!

Charming ribbon embroidery

Yes, they also embroider with ribbons! In embroidery, ribbons of different widths are used, which, with the correct drapery, creates volume and beauty of the embroidered picture.

This technique is good for several reasons:

• Fast results;
• Ribbon embroidery looks very rich and is appreciated among amateurs;
• Not complicated schemes, if desired, everyone will succeed.

I have prepared several master classes, watch and learn.

Now they sell many kits for embroidery with ribbons, such kits are very good for beginner needlewomen, there is a diagram, a canvas, a set of ribbons, threads and everything that is used to create a picture.

If you want exclusive work, you can draw up schemes, select colors and textures yourself.

Ecumenical choice gift ideas for any occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

Good day, my dear friends! When the time for the holidays approaches (especially the last calls and September 1), an item such as a ribbon bow becomes especially relevant. This accessory is so popular with schoolchildren, mothers and just needlewomen that I could not ignore it and decided to devote a whole post to bows.

All kinds of bows are actually found in our life so often that we do not even notice it - in jewelry, clothes, they are even used as an element school uniform... In general, if you want to learn how to make bows from the most different types tapes, you are welcome!

Beautiful DIY ribbon bows: master classes

In fact, learning how to tie even the most complex bows yourself is not so difficult. This will help instructions with a large number of photos, which today I have prepared in abundance for you. There will be both selections from the Internet and unique master classes specially prepared for you.

How to make satin ribbon bows: step by step instructions

Satin ribbons are the most popular material for creating small masterpieces. Smooth, shiny, relatively inexpensive ribbons have always attracted the attention of needlewomen from all over the world. The material has found application in the most different areas creativity, and jewelry based on different kinds bows.

To create accessories, you can use ribbons of different widths, but it all depends on the chosen design and execution technique. Let's start with the simplest types.

The simplest classic bow

A basic bow that any beginner should learn how to make is presented below. For him, you can take both a narrow and a very wide tape - it will turn out from any.

Work process:

1. Fold the tape over by sliding the two halves over the index fingers of both hands.
2. Cross the halves and slip one into the other.
3. Tighten the product. Ready!

On the basis of such a bow, you can make a chic decoration. It will be enough just to fill it with waterproof glue or shiny acrylic varnish, then attach the rings to which the chain will be fastened.

The same bow will not be difficult to tie on a fork, with its help it will turn out to be more neat and even (although you can create a very beautiful accessory on your fingers). There is also a limitation for such a "helper" - it is useful only when creating very small bows; for larger items, you will have to resort to the traditional method.

Double tape

The double bow is performed in a slightly different way from the previous one. For him, two rings of tape and a separately created center are useful, obtained by sealing the edges.

Fold the two rings in the middle and sew or glue them so that they touch the side parts. After that, the middle is closed with a pre-made part. The structure can be attached to a hair clip or elastic band.

Note!

For this accessory, you need to take a medium or wide ribbon, such beauty will not work out of a thin, narrow material. If your choice goes for a width of 2.5-5 cm, then this will be the perfect solution.

A variation of such a bow of two ribbons can be such an analogue: in this case, the two rings are superimposed with their centers on top of each other. You can also experiment with colors- for example, create a red or green bow or even combine one or more shades in one product.

Try to make more than two layers, take ribbons of different widths and textures. Thus, from one scheme for creating a bow, you can create a wide variety of accessories.

Layered fluffy bow

A great option for schoolgirls and not only. It is easy to put such a bow on a hair clip or comb to attach to your hair. It is based on the two simple bows discussed earlier.

To fold one, you need to make a base of two overlapping layers. From the tapes folded in this way, the back will be obtained. The front is similar to the simplest first bow. At the end, they must be connected with glue or thread. All together are held together by a central piece.

Thus, you can get more voluminous accessories, like the white bow presented below. There is one difference - it is based not on two layers, but three.

Romantic and sophisticated, this addition to the look will delight any graduate who wants to be nostalgic. But this option, unlike jewelry for girls, is more adult and feminine, and this is what is needed in such cases.

Twisted bow of 3-4 ribbons

Very beautiful bow which is good for head decoration. To do this, three or four (or even more) pieces of tape of the same width, but different lengths you need to sew with the sign of infinity and put one into the other. Make out the middle as in a few microns earlier.

Kanzashi

Many beautiful bows are made in the kanzashi technique. This kind of creativity came, as you might guess, from distant Japan. There, in this way, magnificent details are created to complement not only everyday, but also festive outfits.

Bow flower

Making such a flower is not difficult, but painstaking. You will need at least 12 petals, which will need to be pre-cut from a tape 2 and 4 cm wide (you can take a different width, but not less than 1.5 cm).

First, make the first layer by stringing six wide petals and pulling them together. Place some decoration between the layers and attach a second layer made in the same way. Don't forget the bead in the middle.

Another variation of simple but beautiful petals is located below. Here the flowers come out more spiky.

A more graceful white flower is created below. V phased photos you can see that the petals for the flower are made by curling the ends inward. Such a bow can consist of either a pair or five or six layers gradually increasing in terms of the number of elements.

Bow for discharge from the hospital

Newborns (and indeed children) deserve the best! That is why I have found for you a beautiful bow that will suit both girls and boys. You will need a long enough tape for it (at least three meters).

In the middle, make a winding of several layers and then a knot as in the photo. After that, you will need to pull out a few petals formed by the previously folded rings.

Why leave such long ends around the edges? The fact is that you will need to tie them around the long-awaited roll, leaving a beautiful center in the front. At one time, I generally bought a five-meter tape - the nurse imposed such beauty from it that we still remember it with a smile with the whole family.

How to tie a bow from a rep ribbon

The good thing about a rep ribbon is that, unlike a satin ribbon, it is less susceptible to all sorts of damage. Satin should only be hooked once and that's it - appearance the bantha is spoiled. With a rep, this trick will not work, but it also costs more.

Baby bows

The combination of several types of ribbons looks very interesting. V in this case the colors are also combined, which, nevertheless, look very organic. The polka dot ribbon is just awesome! Such a bow will decorate a girl's head for a holiday and Everyday life... For him, you will need to connect two tucked-in parts, as was previously encountered in master classes. The top will be decorated with a classic variation.

On an elastic band

Collecting a fluffy bow on an elastic band is not difficult. To do this, you will need several layers of bows, decorated as we did earlier. The number of layers is limited only by your imagination and common sense... The difference between this accessory is that under it there is a kind of crosses with serifs at the ends.

You can connect all this splendor with ribbons 1 cm wide, tying the middle. You can attach a bow to the elastic using a glue gun or something similar.

The bright school-themed bow explodes early notions of what a school accessory should be. It's just a bomb!

Bow butterfly

With the help of rep ribbons, you can even make a semblance of a tie! Yes, the butterfly will turn out to be small, but very effective. To create it, fold the ribbon, bending the edges under each other, as in the photo below. You will need three such layers. Attach a longer tape underneath so that you can tie it in the back. In mk, it is very short, in this form it can be left for a simple accessory.

And here's another fun variation of the bow tie. Here, no more and no less bird feathers are used, connected by a ribbon in the middle. Interesting interpretation of the standard butterfly, isn't it?

By the way, a bow-tie can also be made of fabric, the master class is about this below.

Bows for gift boxes

To tie a bow on gift box you will need not only tape, but also different types of wrapping paper.

Big bow

A very large accessory for a very great gift... Such a bow can be made from tape, but it is better to use wrapping paper, which will take a lot for such a work.

Place a small box at the base of the decorative element. There may be a surprise in it, or it may just be the basis for such an accessory. Place it in the center of the square, which cover the top and bottom with its edges. Fold the free edges as in the photo below (as if wrapping an envelope). Press in the middle and wrap it with a small piece of paper of sufficient length. Straighten the edges to make them as fluffy as possible.

This bow can be used as an independent packaging or as a decorative piece for a huge surprise.

Handsome for a gift

The next fluffy bow has an incredible Christmas feel. From him literally blows them! For this, you will need to fold the ribbon as shown below, overlaying and linking several layers to each other.

Place some bows on top of the structure, folded as shown below. Decorate the middle with a lovely bear in a cap or any other decorative element.

Paper bows: simple, cheap, original. All master classes describe their creation in great detail.

Do you want even more bows for a gift? Read about it in another article.

Nylon bows

Nylon tape is traditionally used for graduates and hair decoration. But for other purposes, such bows can be used.

A simple bow on a fork is created in just a couple of minutes. To do this, you take a fork, thread it in the middle thin ribbon, it is thicker on top. Wrap the tape thicker around the teeth of the fork many times, forming a braid. The thinner ribbon becomes the central part of such a flower.

A semicircular metal template will help you cut the petals into a small resemblance of a soldering iron. To do this, two ribbons - nylon and satin - must be folded as shown below. After that, the middle is bent inward and a lot of such petals will be needed. They merge into one layer, then into another, etc., until you get a lush multi-layered bow that can be used to decorate your hair.

In the next accessory, the nylon tape is used only as an additional accessory, decorating the base made of fabric. You can create such beauty in a few minutes, and decorated with a nylon ribbon it will look even richer.

The next bow belongs to the category of gift bows, but I decided to place it in this section, because it is made of nylon ribbon. For it, you will need to fold the tape in many layers, and make an incision in the middle, which will need to be tied with a thin fishing line, around which to tie the ends. The most important stage: It is necessary to pull out all the ends of the folded tape to get a very curvy design.

Such a bow will decorate a Christmas tree or simply become a decoration of an apartment.

A similar accessory can be made from a denser tape and even burlap. Pulling out the ends will be more difficult, but the effect will be more unexpected and extraordinary.

Photo of other beautiful bows

As soon as they are not drawn up! In the form of graceful brooches, bracelets and more. For example, the accessory below will be an interesting addition to a festive outfit.

Another lace bow with a bead inside.

In general, thanks to lace, even the simplest design begins to look more original and festive.

Just see how you can decorate your pen by adding layers of lace and satin ribbons to it.

The bow on the rim will make ordinary girl a doll hurrying to the ball.

Roses as bows. Great, isn't it?

The bow on the dress looks very impressive and original.
