How to make a bride’s bouquet of satin ribbons with your own hands? With these step-by-step lessons you can create your own unique composition.
A budget option
This self-made bride’s bouquet of satin ribbons will not hit the wallet, but with due diligence it will look no less impressive.
For manufacturing you will need:
- tapes;
- wire,
- floristic ribbon;
- scissors;
- glue gun;
- decorative hairpins with pearls;
- tulle.
First, prepare the flowers. To do this, take a tape 1 m long, cut the edges at an angle. Thread the needle and set it aside, you will need it later. Pull back 20 cm and fold the ribbon with the letter “G.” Fold a long piece of tape parallel to a short one, then bend it to make a square. Repeat this operation until at least 3 layers of fabric are obtained. Carefully lift the squares and push the long end of the tape into the gap between the layers of fabric. Pull it to the inside of the flower. While holding the structure, gently pull on the long end of the tape. The petals will begin to curl. When the first layer has the desired shape, release the second and twist it slightly. When the flower is ready, take a thread with a needle and sew it so that it does not fall apart. Surplus tapes do not cut.
Bouquet assembly
- Screws the wire to the flowers. Close it with the rest of the ribbon and wrap it with floral tape.

Operating procedure
Here's how to make bouquets of ribbons (MK with photos, see below):
- We make the frame: glue the base leg with lace with wooden sticks for stability and close it with a satin ribbon. Inside we glue a foam ball.
- We make the rosette as shown in the photo: first we make 4 bent corners, sew them and pull them together.
- We make a magnificent center of the flower on the basis of a simple nodule, wrap it with wire, leave a long tail. We cut off the excess tissue.
- We take artificial stamens, bend them in half and rewind. Also leave the tail of the wire.
- We collect flowers: in the first two rows there will be a center from the ribbon, and on the upper flowers in the middle there will be stamens. Glue the wire so that the sockets do not crumble.
- We collect a bouquet. Glue the flowers in rows, leaving no free space. Large pearls can be added between them, and from the green ribbon fold small petals to make the composition more natural.
Dressing the legs of the bouquet
- Sew a large bow from a white ribbon. Trim the ends and lightly burn with a flame from the lighter so that the fabric does not spill.
- Now make 6 rectangles from the ribbon, sew them on the cut and to the side of it, then pull them off. Combine the resulting petals into one large flower, sew a large pearl in the center.
- Glue both elements to the stem of the bouquet.
Luxury roses
What else can you make a bride's bouquet of satin ribbons with your own hands?
In this bouquet, the main role is assigned to roses. They look voluminous due to the fact that they are made on the basis of a cone.
For the bouquet you will need:
- tapes;
- base for a bouquet and a foam ball;
- beads and rhinestones;
- glue gun;
- scissors;
- needle and thread;
- non-woven;
- pencil, ruler, compass.
Step-by-step instruction
How to make a bouquet of satin roses:
- We glue the ball from the foam and the base with the leg, if necessary, strengthen the latter with wooden sticks, decorate with ribbons.
- We turn to the manufacture of roses. For them we need to cut a circle of non-woven with a radius equal to the width of the ribbon for the flower. Then we cut out the sector of the circle (1/6 part) and a couple of stitches sew the workpiece into a cone.
- Fold the ribbon tip with a square, sew on the center of the cone. Then we bend the tape at an angle and grab the stitch to the base (see photo). So we continue to move in a circle, making the bends more voluminous. When they begin to go beyond the edges of the base, cut off the tape, fasten the end to the wrong side. Bend the edges of the petals and sew to the non-woven fabric.
- Decorate the flowers with beads and rhinestones - they can be scattered like dew drops or sew in the middle of the flower.
- Glue the roses to the foam ball, cover the free spaces between them with large beads.
Nice tradition
At the wedding, every single girl involuntarily thinks about when this happy day will come for her. This is probably why the Western tradition has taken root: the bride throws a bouquet-understudy in her girlfriends, and the one who will catch him should soon get married.
But modern wedding floristic compositions are often built not in the form of a bunch of flowers with stems, but in the form of a plastic frame with a sponge and a leg where liquid is poured. Such a bouquet will crumble in flight and will shower girls. A composition of soft artificial flowers will not hit anyone and will remain as a pleasant reminder of the wedding.
How is a bouquet-understudy done in a few hours?
It will be required:
- Ready-made flowers from ribbons. They can be purchased at sewing stores.
- Inexpensive large shiny brooches.
- Thick wire (on thin flowers they will look drooping).
- Wooden sticks (round glazing beads).
- Satin ribbon.
- Decorative ribbon with rhinestones.
- Glue gun.
- First, screw each flower to the wire, collect them in a bouquet.
- Glue all the stems with a glue gun, and around them glue wooden round glazing beads - this will give the handle hardness and make it evenly rounded.
- Wrap the handle of the bouquet with satin ribbon to completely hide the wire.
- Attach brooches.
- Cut a piece of ribbon with rhinestones, glue it in the form of several strips.
- By the same principle, you can make the same bouquets for buddies. It looks very nice in photos.
Wedding stuff
Bridal bouquet is one of the key elements of wedding decoration. It matches the entire design, and sometimes even sets the palette and style. Therefore, if you made it from ribbons, then you also need to make a buttonhole for the groom from ribbons. Of course, this is much easier than a whole bunch, you only need to buy a special pin. Friends also should not be deprived, make them buttonholes to match the colors of my friends. Pillow for rings, flowers in vases on tables and even invitation cards - everything can be decorated with ribbons. But keep in mind that it will take a lot of time for all this creativity, and appraise your possibilities sensibly. Preparing for the wedding should be a joy, and the bride should be fresh and full of energy.
