With proper use of available materials, the flowers come out strong and of good quality. They can be attached to elastic bands, hairpins, headbands, or arranged into bouquets.

An exciting activity or a magical hobby

People began to create things similar to the creations of nature a long time ago. The hands of the craftswomen tried many methods and manufacturing techniques to achieve similarity with natural flowers.

To make the petals convex, they used starch, gelatin, and squeezed them out with special tools, giving them the desired shape.

The easiest and fastest way to make fabric flowers with your own hands for beginners is to create buds by sewing strips of fabric or ribbons together.

Types of petals

Satin ribbon flowers are collected from petals of different shapes. The main ones are sharp and round. Any type of petal can be made with your own hands. The sharp shapes of the petals are suitable for making flowers such as aster, chamomile, dandelion, sunflower, bluebell and others.

The varieties of sharp petals are:

spicy double (triple);
sharp with a curl in the center;
sharp convex (convex).

Round-shaped petals are used to create flowers such as roses, lilacs, ranunculus, peony and others.

The varieties of round petals are as follows:

two-color round (double);

So, we put our triangle on colored fabric, outline its edges and, according to the drawing, cut a flag from the fabric. We do this with all fabrics. We got colored flags.

Step 3:

We take a satin ribbon and sew our flags to it with the triangles down. The New Year's garland is ready!

Flower made of satin ribbons 2.5 cm - step by step instructions

A 2.5 cm wide satin ribbon is perfect for creating lush flowers with your own hands. When finished, they resemble a bush rose. The technique is simple.

Step 1. Preparation of necessary materials:

pieces of tape 2.5 cm wide and 7 cm long;
needle and thread;
fire;
scissors.

Step 2. Preparation of petals. You need to melt the cut edges of the tape, bend the tape on each side so that you get a trapezoid, and additionally melt it to secure it. Then you need to do the same with all the tapes.

Step 3. Flower formation. It is necessary to sweep each petal blank along the bottom edge, pull the thread and fasten it, then sew the bases of the petals so that you get a flower.

To add volume, you can attach 3 more petals on top or leave the flower in a single layer.

Step 4. Decoration. Beads glued in the center, imitating the core of a flower, will look harmonious.

For the rim

Any flowers are suitable for decorating the headband, such as large and lush roses, peonies, chrysanthemums, zinnias, as well as small roses, jasmine, and bells.

To make a headband with a jasmine branch, you will need:

a headband wrapped in a satin ribbon the color of the first green;
a strip of rounded felt 2x16 cm of the same color;
yellow plastic stamens - 1 bunch;
pieces of white satin ribbon 5×5 – 25 pcs.;
pieces of green satin ribbon 2.5x3 cm - 25-30 pcs.;
thread, needle, scissors, glue.

Jasmine flowers form very simply. It is necessary to sweep a diamond shape on a white piece with white thread, then tighten the thread, insert a plastic stamen inside and sew it up. It takes 3 to 5 minutes to make 1 jasmine flower.

Important! When basting, the thread should not be interrupted, otherwise it will be impossible to form a flower.

To make a sheet from a green piece of satin ribbon, you need to fold it in half and round it off on one side with scissors. Then you should melt the edges and, while they are soft, slightly deform them in the manner of a jasmine leaf, gather the lower edges and melt them.

The finished elements are glued evenly onto a strip of felt to create a jasmine branch. You need to let it set and glue the finished composition directly to the rim.

For hairpins

To decorate hairpins, small flowers of light weight are often chosen, otherwise the hairpin will not hold the hair well and will slip off. Ideal options are small roses, one small chamomile, and aster. A very fast and beautiful flower is obtained from only 3 petals. A satin ribbon 5 cm wide is cut into 5 cm pieces. You need to make circles from the resulting squares.

You need to fold them in half and sweep them in an arc, tighten them, forming a petal with your fingers. Then you need to sew 3 petals together and glue a bead in the center. The resulting flower is glued to the hairpin. Note. If the flower is not large enough, you can increase the number of petals to 5-7. However, it is necessary to select a larger core size.

Snowdrops for the rim

Materials and accessories

To work you need to prepare:

white satin ribbon – width 5 cm, length 2 m;
green satin ribbon – width 2.5 cm, length 1.5 m;
green satin ribbon – width 5-6 mm, length 2 m;
white plastic rim – width at least 10 mm;
ready-made yellow stamens – 3 pcs. on a flower;
felt that matches the tone of the green satin ribbons (needed if the width of the headband is less than 10 mm) - 2 by 7 cm;
heat gun and rods;
lighter (can be replaced with a candle);
needle, scissors.

Description

We cut at least 30 squares of 5 by 5 cm from white tape. We singe the edges of the cuts. Then we sew the square with white thread using basting stitches - see photo. The thread should remain on the wrong side. Temporarily we put aside the part.

We put three stamens into a bundle, which we bend in half. We twist the lower end into a spiral and fix it with hot glue.

Place the stamens in the prepared square in the center and tighten the thread.

We make several turns of the thread around the base of the flower, tightening the thread tightly. To secure, make a few stitches and cut the thread.

Using this technology we make several more flowers. Now let's start making leaves. From a green ribbon 25 mm wide, cut into pieces 4-5 cm long. Fold each of them in half, cut out the leaves. We process the edges with fire. We make small folds at the base of the leaves, fixing them with fire. The next step will be decorating the headband. Cut two 1 cm pieces from a narrow (5 mm) green ribbon. Glue them to the edges of the corner.

Fix the tip of the tape with glue. We wrap the entire rim, making overlapping turns with the tape. You can place flowers along the length of the rim in any order, if desired. First we glue the leaf at a distance of 8 cm from the edge of the rim, then the first flower. We hide the lower part of the flower under the leaves. To do this, glue 2 more leaves.

We glue the next two flowers on the sides of the first, trying to do it as tightly as possible.

This way we fill the entire area on the rim intended for flowers.

If your rim width is less than 10 mm, cut out an oval (length 12 cm) from felt and glue it to the rim. Next we proceed according to the description given above.

Ribbon roses

There are at least 5 techniques for making roses from satin ribbons.

For beginners, the following option is suitable:

A ribbon 6 cm wide and about a meter long is folded in half lengthwise.
The folded tape is swept along its entire length. It is necessary to start and end at an angle of 40-50° to give more volume to the flower.
Assemble the resulting workpiece.
A bud is formed, securing it with threads.
Wrap the ribbon around the bud, forming a flower. Periodically secure the layers at the base so that the rose does not fall apart.
The final stitches should go through the entire flower, while being invisible. The thread should be the same color as the ribbon.

For a medium-sized flower, 30-40 petals are needed. It all depends on the desired number of layers and the diameter of the aster. The petal is made in two stages.

Stage 1 . A strip of satin is folded in half lengthwise and clamped with tweezers. The edge is cut at an acute angle and sealed with fire.
Stage 2 . From the opposite edge, the strip is folded like an envelope, clamped with tweezers and fixed with fire.

Petals are glued onto the felt circle along the very edge. The next layer is glued closer to the center. The petals are placed visually between the petals of the first layer. The same is done with all layers. The number of petals in each subsequent level decreases. The finished flower is decorated with a bead core. You can also combine the colors of the petals.

Bell

When making a bell, the following materials are needed:

pieces of satin ribbon 5x5 cm - 5 pieces;
