Ribbon Flowers {tutorial}


With all of the Burlap Ruffle Wreaths I've been making lately, I've also been working on some embellishments for them! Today, I'll show you how to make the ribbon flower that I added to my latest Christmas wreath.

The materials list for this is super simple (as is the tutorial)
- grosgrain ribbon (less than 1 yd to make one flower)
- hot glue
- scissors
- button or brad for flower center


Step One:
Cut 4 strips of ribbon in approx. 6"-8" lengths.


Step Two:
Bring ends of each strip together and press into a figure 8 shape.


Step Three:
Twist the ribbon into a true figure eight shape and secure with a dot of hot glue.


Step Four:
Repeat four times and glue all together!




Step Five:
Flip over and add button or brad to front.



These are great for hairbows for little girls, or to add to gifts at the holidays!

Check out a few other fun designs of these in my etsy shop too!
