How to make an easy Ribbon flower!!

Hey Friends...

Since you all liked my previous post... 
I am here again with another easy to make flower...

So here's what you'll need :

1) Satin Ribbon
(1/2" wide for small flowers, 1" wide for bigger one)
2) Scissors
3) Needle n Thread


Instruction:

1) Cut the Ribbon:
6" long for 1/2" wide ribbon
10" long for 1" wide ribbon
(If using ribbon with wire on both edges, remove the wire from one edge)


2)Next, turn under one raw end of the ribbon and tack it in place by hand with tiny stitches
(or you can burn the end just a little)
Do this to both ends

3)Then, with your needle and thread, sew a loose running stitch along one edge (the edge that you removed the wire from)





4) Pull the gathering thread to gather you ribbon, and tack the end with place with a small stitch to secure the gathers.




5)Adjust the ribbon until it looks the way you want it.

6) Now for the flower center you can paste a bead or a button or anything you like, or you can even leave it just as it is...

(I used a hot glue gun to paste these, but u can use some very good white glue.. also these can b stitched onto stuff)

 Hope you'll Like it...

Introduction....

Hey!! Im Leena... I love all sort of creative stuff... I want to be so many thing, like Photographer, Florist, Henna Artist, Wedding planner, Interior Designing, Fashion Designing, Web Designing n many more...
But most unfortunately I have not still got the opportunity, n I was stuck doing something I don't like... So then one day my cousin sis told me ' why don't you start a blog, your so good at these..' Shes a writer so it was easy for her but me I am not so good with words, so I was not sure, I told her 'Im not a pro, my posts will b so childish '(like this now) but she still said I have to do this, that I don't have to be a pro even just posting some good videos was also ok.. n I thought about it for some time.. it sounded good so now here I am ..
I still don't know much.. I was thinking of sharing articles and videos which i found very useful for my work, since I wasn't able to follow any proper classes I had to search the net and find what I needed, and I found many only some of them were useful, so I'll be posting here IA, for those like me out there... , but it might take time b'coz I am a little busy these days.. Also writing these post take so long for me (coz as I told you I am not so good at writing)
so
Till then
Bye Bye,
Takecare...
Leena
