Tutorial: Easy Ribbon Flower With One Piece of Ribbon
Learn how to make an easy ribbon flower using this simple 10-minute tutorial. All you need is one strand of ribbon that is about 10″ to 12″ long and some hand-sewing needle and thread.

So grab a spool of ribbon and follow along with the tutorial to make as many little flowers as you need.
Supplies Needed:
Step 1
cut a piece of ribbon about 10 inches long

Step 2
make a long zigzag stitch through the whole ribbon
Step 3
pull on the thread to gather the ribbon
Step 4
roll the ribbon around itself
Vertically, roll the ribbon to create a clump of petals.
Step 5
stitch through the base to secure the shape
Stitch through one side of the flower roll to secure it as the base of the flower, and helping the flower maintain it’s shape.
