Pretty flowers

These pretty flowers can be used for grips, bobbles and bracelets. Follow these simple steps to make your own.

All you need is: 3 pieces of ribbon
A needle and thread
And a button




First you need to cut 3 pieces of ribbon. If you want your flowers to be small you need your ribbon strips to be smaller ect.



Place all the strips together,patterned side down. Thread the needle half way through them.


Spread the pieces of ribbon out.
Bring the strips of ribbon and loop it over the needle. Continue doing this until every one
is looks like a petal.

 
 
Once you have done that sew a few stitches to hold it in place.


Sew your button in place and there you have it! A finished flower.
You could experiment with the amount of ribbon you use and the
colour combination! You can also attach the flowers to grips ect with
stitches or glue guns.
