Satin ribbons are a wonderful material for the embodiment of creative ideas. They have not only the most different colors, but also size, and even thickness. Three-dimensional bows and flowers, butterflies, and whole paintings on fabric are obtained from satin stripes. It is convenient to work with them, since the lateral edges of the fabric are processed and do not split, and the slices are perfectly fused with a candle or a lighter.
Satin ribbons are used for embroidery, combining wide and thin strips in the composition. The paintings look bright and original, as the fabric is shiny. In the article, we consider several options for using satin stripes. The samples presented in the photographs will give a clearer picture of the final result.
How to make a rose
A satin ribbon rose can be created in several ways. Consider how to make a lush flower from cut segments. To begin with, cut a tape 4 cm wide into equal lengths of 10 cm. You need to cook 12-15 pieces. For the central bud, the length of the cut is larger, about 15 cm. The middle of the rose is made of satin ribbons by first folding the corner of the fabric at a right angle, then making another turn and fastening the bottom edge with stitches with a simple thread to the tone of the fabric. Then they perform a couple more revolutions of the matter around them and additionally strengthen them with seams. When the middle is ready, you can begin work on creating the petals. The photograph shows that the segments are turned into corners by corners so that right angles are formed. It must be taken into account that the strips of fabric are folded to the wrong side. The lower part is stitched along the base line with stitches. The thread is better to choose the same color as the flower petals.
Further out of satin ribbons with their own hands make up a rose. Petals are mounted around the central bud face up. They are distributed around the circumference of the flower in a checkerboard pattern so that every detail is clearly visible. The handicraft made of different colors looks beautiful. You can add a rose with several green leaves. At the end of the work, the flower is turned on the other side and the excess tissue is cut (to the seams). The rose itself can be glued onto a felt base with a glue gun. It is more convenient to place the finished product on a hoop or sew it on an elastic band for hair, stick it on a gift box or a holiday card.

Work begins in the same way as in the previous version, that is, first the middle is made, the twisted bud.

Take a length of 30 cm and sew it to the middle from the bottom, then turn the tape for each petal at right angles to the base. From the bottom with stitches, the edge of the strip is fastened to the previous turn.
The midline from the bottom is cut off so that the bundle of the fabric is not too voluminous. Next, take a needle with a wide eye and insert a satin ribbon into the hole. Petals are arranged around the entire circumference around the middle. Each loop is neatly aligned with a hook. It is necessary to ensure that all petals have the same length at the same level. The lower ring is made of larger loops, and the middle one is slightly smaller. If you don’t need to sew a rose onto a fabric, you can use a glue gun to attach the loops. Then cut the tape into equal segments.
