Instead of buying ready-made items decorated with standard jewelry, try making flowers from satin ribbons with your own hands. You will see that they look simply amazing! At the same time, making them is very simple and exciting.
Where could these decorations be applied?
• Such a satin flower can transform a not-so-new sun hat or a little boring handbag.
• A variety of satin brooches using rhinestones or pearls are able to change beyond recognition the usual costume or make an evening dress.
• Beautiful flowers made from satin ribbons give a glamorous look to hair ornaments. Attach them to rims or hairpins - and any hairstyle will acquire romance and femininity.
• Having in stock some of these accessories, you can decorate them with gift wrapping for friends. If you made flowers from satin ribbons with your own hands in the form of a brooch, then they themselves can become an independent gift.
• Satin flowers are simply irreplaceable as wedding accessories: buttonholes, jewelry for glasses or handbags of the bride, bracelets of girlfriends and much more.

How to make a flower from a satin ribbon?
You will need:
• Iron and board.
• Satin ribbons of various shades and sizes for petals and leaves.
• Crayon, fabric marker or ballpoint pen (pencil slides on satin).
• Thick paper for creating flower detail templates.
• Sharp scissors.
• A candle or a lighter (matches can be used) to melt the edges of the petals.
• Glue.
• Large crystals or rhinestones to decorate the middle of the flowers.
Look at these flowers from satin ribbons. With your own hands you can make not only roses, but also other varieties of elegant plants.
• Make one pattern of the following elements from paper: a petal (its size depends on the desired size of the product), a sheet, and a base circle.
• Mark the tape. You need 10 petals, 2 leaflets (green satin) and 1 circle for the middle of the flower.
• Cut parts.
• Using the flame of a candle or lighter, carefully process all the edges of the flower parts. To avoid
an accident during this process, keep a bowl of water on hand.
• Use glue to fasten the crease at the base of each petal and squeeze to make three-dimensional flowers. It is easy to make whole patterns resembling roses from satin ribbons with your own hands (it is enough to assemble a piece of braid into an assembly). In this case, it is not necessary to process the cuts of the petals with fire.
• The last operation is the connection of all fragments. All petals and leaves are gradually glued onto the base circle. The installation of the central crystal or beads completes the work.
These are general principles for creating colors from satin ribbons. When you master this technology, you can make them from other materials.
