The rounded ribbon edge is made with a washer and woodburning tool. Trace the end of the washer on the ribbon. This will cut the ribbon and seal the end at the same time.
Cut Ribbon to length; these petals are 1 3/4 inches.
Repeat process to make five petals.
Stitch petals together with a needle and upholstery thread.
Pull the threads tight and tie off on the back of flower.
Supplies used in this flower: 1 1/2 inch Ribbon, 1 1/2 inch Metal Washer (hardware store), Woodburner (craft store), Needle and Upholstery thread
This is SO cute! Thanks for the new update and the awesome website! I can't tell you how much this site has helped me begin my bow business!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you SO MUCH for this tutorial! I just bought a small flower clip like this for my daughter and LOVE it... but can't really afford to buy tons of them :) Now I can try making one myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!

ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant! We are using them to accent costumes for children with cancer in hospitals. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks! My friend and I are starting an accessory business selling hair clips and the like. I have been searching the internet for something like this! Thanks again! :D
ReplyDeleteI make these bows, too but lots of cutting and burning the edges so they don't fray. Your version is much simpler... off to the store to buy a wood burning tool! Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! I don't have a wood burning tool though so I'll just have to use my good 'ol fashioned lighter haha. Thank you so much for sharing this! These are too cute!
ReplyDeleteI do not have a wood burning tool, but will use thin one sided steam a seam to bond the back of the ribbon so that it will not ravel. - Barb
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Using the woodburning tool to cut the petals gives a much more tailored look to the flower. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and put it in my bookmarks :) Sharing all these cute ideas.... you're sooo great!!

Thanks for sharing this tutorial! I just finished making a bow like this, and it turned out so cute! :) After hunting around my husband's toolbox for a washer that was the right size to go with the ribbon I wanted to use and having all of them be either too big or too small, I found that a nickel was the perfect size. I'm planning to use a dime with the ribbon that I am going to use for the next one. Just thought I'd share this little tidbit in case anyone else encounters the same issue I was having!
ReplyDeleteWonderful instructions!
