“I’d rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck”. I didn’t say that. Emma Goldman did. It is arguable whether I or any reader would fully agree with this sentiment – but it is a worthy one. Rose ARE beautiful. You cannot argue with that. It is perfect in every way. As a flower, it is the queen. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You cannot replicate this flower, the way God made it, exactly. But you can try to make something close – with some ribbons.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Which ribbons are best for making ribbon roses?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

You can use all types of ribbons, including satin ribbons, velvet ribbons and even lace ribbons. I love organza ribbon roses, they look ethreal and beautiful as ribbon roses should be. Cheapest options are satin ribbons. Check out the post on different kinds of ribbons<\/a> if you are confused about what to use.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You do not need much to make these ribbon rose flowers. Some pretty ribbons, hand sewing needle, matching thread, some floral wire (optional) and a quick drying glue (this is optional too). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

1. Easy peasy Rose <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"diy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Take some 20 inch + length of ribbon ( with more length you get more petals, obviously) of  any width ( this will determine the size of the rose) <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make wide herringbone stitches as shown in the picture below all along the length of the ribbon<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"make<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After you have done, without cutting the thread, just pull the thread and tighten – the rose will automatically form in your hands. Arrange the folds to your liking. Secure the rose with stitches and a knot. Add a bead or two in the middle of your rose with glue or stitching.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"continue<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. Gathered rose<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"gathered<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the easiest way that you can make roses with ribbons. Take a ribbon of about 30 inches or more; make basting stitches ( long stitches with your hand needle and thread) along one long edge.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"fold<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want stem for this rose, keep a floral wire of appropriate length and then keep the gathered ribbon around this wire.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"gather<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gather the first folds very tightly. This will create the bud in the middle , then gather loosely along the outer edge<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"curl<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As you end the gathers, take the last raw edge and fold it to gather it with the base. You can secure the rose by tying the base with thread or a small piece of floral wire.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"gathere<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Loop ribbon rose<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This rose is made by taking about one meter or one and a half meter of ribbon. Start making loops and stitching them at the base. The first few loops should be longer, like 1 inch (depending on the size of the flower you want) – They form the outer petals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"stitch<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make adjacent loops and continue stitching the base.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Make<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you progress you should be making smaller loops.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Lops<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a super glue ( the kind which sets immediately); roll the loop ribbon you have into a rose and glue in place – the smaller loops inside and longer loops outside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Round petal Ribbon roses<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For making this ribbon rose you need to cut 1 inch wide (or more) ribbon to two sizes – 2.5 inch long and 3.5 inch long – 6 numbers each<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are folded as shown in the picture and stiched at the base.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fold<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curve and fold one of the small pieces into a tight bud. Tightly tie thread at the base.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Make<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tie other small pieces of ribbons around the bud. The flat side of the ribbon pieces ( back side of the folds) will be facing up.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gather<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tie the other pieces ( bigger ones ) around the smaller ones. Tie with the thread at the base to secure. In hindsight, I think this flower would look better with satin ribbon.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"gather<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Ribbon roses with pointed petals<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cut ribbon pieces of about 2.5 inches & 3.5 inches long 6 or more pieces each.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a bud by folding one of the small pieces of ribbon (2.5 inch long) as follows. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"fold<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then fold to the inside and curl it to form a bud like the picture below. Tie around the base with a thread and keep aside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fold<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Use the other ribbon pieces to make the rest of the petals of the ribbon rose<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strung petals are then tied around this bud to form a cute flower. If you use satin ribbon the flower can look a lot more authentic than it does with my nylon ribbon<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gather<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Folded rose<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

These are small ribbon roses made with 1\/4 inch wide ribbon, and they are as cute as a button. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a rose made by folding the ribbon in a particular way of folding. Checkout the tutorial to make this flower and others in the ribbon embroidery flower tutorial post here<\/a>. Cut about 12 inch long ribbon for making each of the rose.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"folded<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Rolled rose<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This rose is one of the easiest roses you can make with ribbon and the closest it will look to the real rose.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be stitched on to any of your clothing ; they look especially good on kids’ dresses.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is better made with a double sided ribbon of width about 1\/2 inch or so; but it can also be made with one side smooth ribbon- you just have to be careful when you roll that the smooth side of the ribbon faces outside all the time. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut about 20 -25 inches of a 1\/2 inch wide ribbon<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"easy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fold ribbon as shown in the picture below, leaving a 2″ tall.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ribbon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Roll the ribbon from the left side to the right so that a small bud is formed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the petals of this rose is made with a fold and roll method.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hold the base of the bud in your left hand. Fold the ribbon ( on the right side – the longer tail) to the outside at a right angle. Now roll the ribbon so that the outside edge of the ribbon forms a soft curl. curve this around the bud. No one petal is formed<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeat this process of fold and roll all around the flower. At all point you should secure the flower at the base with a thread<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"roll<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"continue<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you reach the outer petals, the rolls are made more vertical , they almost resemble loops.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
