Hello Ribbon Unlimited Friends !!

It’s Crystal here with a tutorial on how to  make roses out of Organdy  2 3/4″ size ribbon , Ribbon Unlimited Inc. has a ton of colors so I am sure you will find the right color for your project .If you follow my blog any at all you know I love making flowers and I will make them from anything that will hold still ..lol. Today I am making these roses for  hair clips , but again use your imagination these can be added to anything ,to doll up your projects .

Lets get started

take your ribbon and fold back and forth until you have 8 layers square 23/4  ( don’t have to me exact  )

should look like this

find the center and make starter hole with a piercing tool

organdy roses 003

add a brad to center

organdy roses 004

cut each layer apart so they are now single layers

next make cuts from each corner to the center , do all four

next twist the layers so they are all off-center and use your heat gun and carefully heat the ribbon  and it will melt and curl ( I use a heat gun and not lighter because the lighter will leave brown or black on light ribbon and with the heat gun you also have more control ) do this until you have the desired look

TIP ALERT : if you are making these for little baby’s with fine hair add some of the No slip sheet  ( found by the liners for the kitchen cabinets ) to the inside of the clip now the flower will not slip on fine hair …
