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

unblown

Form the center by bending one tip as shown in the photo. Roll it up, fasten it up.

The peculiarity of this rose is that all the petals are processed separately.

From braid

Finally, a rose, which is obtained by interweaving two wavy ribbons. After weaving, they need to be swept along the edge so that they do not fall apart. And then just roll over.

Flowers from kanzashi ribbons

In general, kanzashi is originally a “hair decoration” from Japanese. It has gone since the time of geishas, ​​who differed, among other things, in the ability to skillfully needlework.

There are two forms of petals in kanzashi - round and sharp. The rest is subspecies. So all flowers to some extent can be attributed to this type of art.

Hibiscus

An exotic guest for which you will need a wide ribbon (about 5 cm wide), base and stamens.

Just a flower with 5 petals

To make spiky elements, sew the center. Fold the future petal in half and hem the inside. Prepare 5 pieces, then string on a thread. Decorate the center.

Bell

For the bell, prepare the petals according to the photo. To roll them, fold the petals with high straight edges to each other and sew the edge (glue the top a little). Pull the thread, collect the resulting parts, decorating with stamens or beads.

Semitsvetik

For it, you need to prepare 7-9 petals using the classic method used in kanzashi. Then all the petals are collected on a thread, if necessary, glued together on the sides.

Aster

Just a dream, not a flower in terms of ease of execution. To make an aster, take your ribbon and sew a line of running stitches in a zigzag across the entire width. Pull up, roll up. All

Peony

For a peony, take three ribbons: two for the petals, one for the green leaf.

Please note that the peony consists of two parts - a more closed bud and opening petals.

Master classes on flowers in video format

Not everyone likes to study photography, so I have prepared for you some flower-making tutorials in video format.

Bouquets of ribbon flowers are fashionable - not only for weddings, but also simply for decorating the room. The production of flower arrangements and large paintings is practiced.

If everything is done according to the rules, then the resulting buds will be of high quality and will not crumble in a couple of hours.

They are quite easy to make, you just need to have on hand the right materials, know the manufacturing technology and do everything very carefully. What you need for making your own hands:

1. Important tools for craftswomen are tweezers and a candle. They help create the petals of the desired shape.
2. Ribbons for manufacturing are an affordable material, they can be found in stores in any area, the assortment is quite wide, there are always different colors.

This hobby takes a minimum of time, any modern woman can devote himself to an exciting occupation.

If you are making a brooch, use bright colors to draw all the attention to him. If you are compiling compositions, paintings or bouquets, choose the appropriate shades, the source material should not cause disharmony.

By the way! There is embroidery with ribbons. They are draped and embroidered with them. This method leads to a quick result, it looks very profitable and expensive and at a great price among amateurs.

What are the petals?

Flowers from satin ribbons are a design of petals.

You can fold them in kanzashi style. Apply two common shapes - with a sharp end and rounded. Flowers with long narrow petals are made from sharp-shaped blanks. These are aster, chamomile, dandelion, sunflower, bluebell, gerbera. With rounded petals, you can make a rose, lilac, peony.

There is another type of petals - melted. They are cut out of satin and nylon ribbons according to patterns: in the shape of a flower, round, in the shape of hearts. You need to make more than 10 units per product. The edges are melted by placing the workpiece over the fire of a candle or lighter, as a result, a volume is obtained. You should work using tweezers, so the possibility of getting a burn is excluded. They also melt long petals for daisies and sunflowers and blanks cut out according to patterns for roses, peonies and other large-petal ones.

There is also a technique for making flowers from a whole tape by twisting the tapes in a special way in a circle, forming petals as you work.

Petals can be made by yourself in a simple way: fold narrow ribbons 7-10 cm wide in half. They are good blanks for making a flower for a brooch. As a variation - tie a knot in the middle of the workpiece and fold it so that it is on the fold.

What flowers can be made from ribbons?

1. IN different techniques execution and from a variety of tape material, almost all types of flowers found in nature can be made. Most often they make roses, daisies, sunflowers, asters. Less often - bells, daffodils, callas. Craftswomen even create dandelions and lilacs.
2. And they also do different type stars, seven-flowers, winter and snow tales and other interesting products.
3. Flowers are also made from lace and propylene tape, zigzag braid, packing tapes.
4. Special skill requires very similar to real natural flowers, such as peonies, roses or ranunculus.

Master classes step by step

The algorithm for the execution of flowers is described in any master class to choose from. The main thing is to find everything you need: ribbons, thread with a needle, glue, beads, flower bases and scissors. The first time the product may turn out to be clumsy, but skill, as in any other business, comes with experience.

If this exciting activity is to your liking, then you can decorate everything that you need.

Quick simple flower

If you want to make a pretty flower, choose this quick and easy method:

1. You need to cut out a circle of the required size from cardboard as a base, then start gluing the tape of your choice, making folds half a centimeter deep in centimeter increments, and do this in a spiral in several layers.
2. When you reach the center, cut the ribbon and fold the neatly cut end inwards.
3. Then take the glue, drip inside and glue the beads. The product is ready. They can decorate anything.

Important! The glue gun should not be kept on all the time. Extremely hot glue is dangerous when working.

This option of manual production is not difficult, the main thing is to master the algorithm for performing work. The size of the resulting roses depends on the width and length of the ribbon. It doesn't matter which source tape you use - the flower will always be beautiful. In addition to the tape, prepare scissors, a thread with a needle, instead of the latter, you can take a hot glue gun.

Rose is performed like this:

1. Place and fold the edge of the tape in half diagonally.
2. fabricate central part roses. Fold the tape over a few turns and glue or sew on the bottom.
3. The formation of rose petals. Fold the tape diagonally outward and wrap it around the finished workpiece, at the same time hold from below, if necessary, glue or sew from below.
4. Continue to increase the number of layers of "petals". Do this: fold the tape out - wrap the bud - fold the tape out - wrap the bud. Do not forget to fix the bud from the bottom at the base with glue, you can sew. The task is that the tape should be fixed and not unravel. Over time, you will learn to fasten the layers of tape only 3-4 times.
5. Once you know the rose is ready, connect the end of the ribbon to the base and pin or glue it.

By the way! Make some roses different sizes. Try changing the width and length of the ribbon, bending it at different angles, changing the number of folds - all in order to get the rose you want. You can find videos and hone your technique.

Photo example:

Chamomile

It is clear that chamomile, like any other flower, can be made using different technologies.

1. For this version of the flower, take a white ribbon with a width of 0.6 to 1 cm. Cut it into pieces, according to your pattern. You will need a circle of felt with a diameter of 2.5 cm for the base.
2. Preparatory work. On the one hand, we cut the petal with scissors, giving a sharp tip, like a real chamomile, first melt the cuts with a lighter, then heat the tip from below until the tip takes on volume and bends down. We pinch the other side in half and fix it by firing with a lighter.
3. flower assembly. Glue the petals to the base around the circumference at a distance of 0.5 cm from the edge. Having glued one circle, we continue to glue further until we get 2-3 circles. The petal should be glued with the pinched side so that the other edge is bent down.
4. Making the middle. Chamomile stamens are yellow. You can glue a half-bead. The second option is to make the middle of a yellow narrow ribbon. We bend it along the length, sew along the edge with a thread with a “needle forward” seam, tighten it on a thread and put it in the center of the chamomile in the form of a spiral. Glue carefully.
5. If desired, glue green leaves to the bottom of the felt base.

Almost a real flower

Making a real aster is quite simple:

1. On a colored ribbon of yellow or other suitable color lay a continuous seam "forward needle", the stitches should be 2-3 mm. The direction of the stitch from one side to the other at an angle, looks like a zigzag.
2. Then pull off the thread, fold the flower and that's it - you can sew or glue the aster anywhere.
3. Optionally, complete with green leaves.

A flower of melted petals

A very stylish bud is obtained from a satin or nylon ribbon. The main active tool is a candle:

1. On cardboard, draw the outline of the flower and cut out the resulting pattern.
2. Then cut off the tape and prepare 10-12 blanks.
3. give them volumetric form, for this, grab the workpiece with tweezers and, bringing it to the candle, melt the edges of the petals. The distance to the fire should be optimal, if you bring it too close, you can ruin everything.
4. Fold the voluminous petals into each other, sew a stack with a thread and sew or glue a bead, button or other core inside.

Such a ribbon flower is used as an additional decor, to decorate a gift and as a gift itself. It takes effort, patience and free time to learn this interesting kind of needlework.

Attention! Melted flowers should not be used to decorate a strict outfit. They look good with flying silk dresses.

simple flower petals

1. Cut 5 or 7 pieces of tape 8 cm long.
2. Take a thread and a needle, bend the workpiece lengthwise, facing outward and stitch the center with stitches.
3. Then you need to fold the petal in half, making the tips sharp, for reliability from the inside, attach the sides to each other with small stitches.
4. When all the petals are ready, it remains to string them on a thread, pull them together in the shape of a flower and decorate the middle with a bead or a small button.

If you make several flowers of different sizes and fasten them into one, you get the original voluminous flower. You can take the tape as the same or different shades.
