Then I went around the top circles and cut slits in to the circles. Then I did the same on the larger circles cutting the slits between the ones on the smaller circles. holding up the smaller circles so I would not cut them. Now glue on your card.
The brads are by Recollections.

How to make a ribbon flower tutorial
Ribbon Flower
Supplies need:
Ribbon- (brands
used are Offray, Celebrate It, and Really Reasonable Ribbon)
Adhesive-(glue
dots mini and ultra-thin), Score tape or Recollections red backing adhesive can
be used.
Cardstock
Scissors,
Ruler or Craft Mat
with rule lines on it
Buttons
Circle Punch-(¾”
-1”) is best You can cut them out by hand. They do not need to be perfect. They
are a base for the flower.
Other items need
for card:
Digis
Copics or other
coloring medium
Card base
Cardstock and
designer papers
Adhesive- (ATG
runner, and Zig pen)
Pearls
Ribbon
White flocking
Scotch Quick Dry
glue
How to Make the Ribbon Flower:
Gather items
needed and set up your work station.
Using a circle
punch, punch out circles. You can cut some out by hand if you do not have a
punch. They do not have to be perfect. The size needs to be between ¾’ – 1”.
Measure Ribbon to
16” lengths and cut.
Now cut the ribbon
into lengths of 2”. You can do this as shown by measuring each 2” length.
Or
You can cut your
16” length then fold it in half and cut it.
Fold each half in
half and cut again till you have eight 2” lengths. You will need eight of each
color or 16 pieces of one color.
Here are all my
strips of ribbon cut at 2”.
I used Glue Dots
to put my flowers together. Place one end of the ribbon on a glue dot.
Now place the
other end on another Glue Dot and then place that end onto the other end of the
ribbon making a loop. Repeat this till all the ribbon pieces are loops.
Note: You can
leave the loops on the Glue Dot backing paper till you are ready to make your
flower.
Note: If your
ribbon is double sided you do not need to worry. If it has a design make sure
the design will be facing up when you make your loops.
Now start with the
color you want on the bottom. Do the north and south poles first. Now do the
west and east so you have a plus sign.
Now place a loop
between each of the other loops. Depending on how close to the edge you place
your ribbon loops will determine the size of your flower.
This is what you
should have so far.
Now for the Second
layer.
Place a loop
between each loop. Bring this layer of loops in a little too so they do not go
out as far as the first layer.
Keep placing the
loops till all the loops are on the flower.
Place an
Ultra-thin Glue Dot on the back of your button.
Now place the
button on the flower center.
Here are the
finished flowers.
Now choose your
digis and color them with your choice of medium. I am using Robyn’s Fetish 5
Little Froggies and Red Hat Bear. You can find them here http://robynsfetish.com/shop/
Copics used are:
5 Little Froggies-
frogs- YG01,YG03, YG05, YG41, YG61, YG63, YG67, G03, G05, G07, R35, well
stones-C00, C1, C3, C5, C7, E41, roof-W00, W1, W3, W5, W7, W10, crank- E31,
E33, E37, rope- E000, grass- G05, YG01,YG03
Red Hat Bear-Reds-R29,
R35, R56, R59, Purples- V01, V04, V06, V09, Bear- E11, E13, E31, E33, E57, E59,
RV06, Leaves and stem- G05, YG01, YG03, flowers- RV06, V01, V06, V09, Rose-
RV02, RV06, RV10
Now you are ready
to make your cards.
Here are my cards
using the ribbon flowers. The yellow one makes a wonderful sun.
Note: I have made
half and even ¼ ribbon flowers to use on cards. The ¼ flower works great in a
corner and the half works well along an edge.
Note: I normally
color my digis first then make my flowers to match my digis.
Note: The grass is
the negative cut from cutting out grass using Cricut cartridge Easter 2010. The
flourishes are cut from Cindy Loo Cricut cartridge.
Note: The clouds
are from A Beary Fine Day digi. I put
quick dry glue on the clouds covering them then poured flocking on it and
shacked off the excess. Let dry, then cut them out.
I hope you have
enjoyed my Tutorial and will give this a try. The flowers look wonderful in all
kinds of colors.
Have a wonderful
day. See you next time. Edwina
