DIY taped flowers - a master class in pictures
The advantage of the tape over other materials is that it does not require time to cut the workpiece from the fabric and process the edges of the strip (for example, using a candle flame). In addition, a huge variety of colors, textures and sizes of finished ribbons, which can be purchased in specialized stores, gives unlimited scope for the imagination of the craftswoman.
• Prepare a tape approximately 5 cm wide. Mark up with a ruler. Make marks with a pen or chalk every 5 cm. On the opposite side, checkerboard.
• Take the needle and thread a long (double) thread into it.
• Stitch in a zigzag pattern from one side of the tape to the other using basting stitches. As you work, periodically stop to collect the quilling. This makes the process easier.
• Assembly: gradually twist in a spiral and fasten with a thread all the petals. Sew flowers securely from the back.
From the tapes with your own hands (the master class showed only the basics of this needlework), you can create other options.
The diameter and volume of the jewelry depends on the length that you have chosen at the beginning of your work.
How to make flowers from thin ribbons?
Such cute jewelry is useful for children's clothes, hairpins and hoops for little fashionistas. Please note that these accessories use a thin rep ribbon of two different patterns, but made in the same color scheme. The middle of the flower can be covered either by a beautiful button, or a crystal, or a finished textile decoration. Such a lovely flower needs to be glued to the blank (clip) for a hair clip.

Flowers from kapron ribbons will look like small bows for pigtails. Their advantage is that you do not need to tie them again and again every time you want to be smart in the class - these bows are always ready to use. Making them very simple:
• It is necessary to cut 4 blanks of the same length of approximately 16-20 cm (depending on the desired flower size).
• Using glue, connect the ends of each ribbon to make a ring.
• Now make “eight” of these elements and fasten them with glue in the center area.

If you increase the number of parts or use more different shades of material, you can achieve unexpected results. The flower will be more magnificent and original. And if you use ribbons of different widths? Experiment with ribbons - and you will get a huge aesthetic pleasure.
