Choice of materials

Before you start embroidering, you need toprepare all the necessary materials. Any fabric will do, from thick raincoat fabric to delicate organza, but it is better to practice on canvas or burlap first. The needle should have a wide eye and, preferably, a sharp tip (a needle with a blunt end will only be convenient to work on canvas). You can choose the width of the tape to your taste, but do not forget that the ideal for
1.5–2 centimeters wide. For some embroidery methods, you will also need a thread — choose one that is as similar to the ribbon as possible in color so that the work looks neat and elegant.

Roses for the Lazy

. You just need to twist the desired number of roses and their buds from
, stitch them and lightly burn the bottom with a lighter.If the unruly ribbon does not want to curl into beautiful flowers, look at the photo or master class on this topic and repeat step by step. Now make several leaves from a wide ribbon using sharp scissors. Treat the edges with a lighter. Having previously imagined how exactly all the parts of the bouquet should be located, tightly sew them to the fabric. You can complement the composition with loose ribbon loops or a scattering of ribbon knots.

The basics of embroidery

Before you embroider anything, you need to doa knot on the ribbon so that it is well secured to the fabric and does not jump out at the most inopportune moment. To do this, thread the end of the thread into the needle, bend a few centimeters of the ribbon at the opposite end and pass the needle through this place. Be careful, if the needle is quite thick, it can damage the narrow satin ribbon.
Make a simple rose from satin ribbonsyou can, even if you have never considered embroidery to be your strong point. Take a ribbon and try to twist a small rosebud near the end. It will become the center of your flower. To prevent the ribbon from unraveling, carefully stitch it from below with a thread and sew it to the fabric. When the bud is secured, begin working with the ribbon and creating the flower. Use a ribbon about two meters long to create a lush rose, for a small one, accordingly, a smaller piece will be enough. Thread the ribbon into a needle and start "wrapping" it around the bud, making small stitches. Make sure that the shiny side of the ribbon is always on top, otherwise the picture will not be as bright. After practicing, try to create a rose from a wide ribbon - it will be more voluminous and will become a good accent in the composition. See the photo.

The rose may not turn out exactly the way you want it.you want — the ribbon will twist, lie unattractively, or you won’t be able to form a perfect flower the first time. Don’t despair, you just need a little practice. To help the flower “lie” beautifully on the fabric, try additionally stitching it lightly with thread. Watch a few videos to better understand how to deal with unruly ribbon.
Don't forget to give your flower a stem andleaves. Leaves are embroidered with two stitches of thin satin ribbons, or one stitch if the ribbon is wide; sepals are created in a similar way. To embroider the stem, you need to twist a narrow ribbon and sew it in the form of a thin sausage. To decorate the picture and give it a finished look, sew a few small buds on the side, make "grass" with green threads or decorate the flowers with "dew" from small transparent beads. Perhaps at first it will be difficult for you to imagine exactly how all the parts of the embroidery should be located - training videos or photos will help you figure this out.

Embroidery on threads

This variant of the rose is also suitable for beginners andCompletely embroidered on the fabric, that is, twist at the beginning does not need the middle. Fix the thread on the canvas and from this point make five identical stitches along the length in different directions, like a star. The length of the stitch will depend on the splendor of your flower. Now pull the ribbon to the front side near the middle of your "star" and start circling it, alternately under and above the stitches. Do not over tighten, otherwise the flower will be very tight. Instead of a thread, you can immediately use a tape, the main thing is to do everything carefully, so that the embroidery does not turn into a process of damage to the tapes. A rose created in this way will be more voluminous and interesting than the flower described in the previous version. For clarity, view the photo and video.

Embroidery according to schemes

Experienced masters, creating paintings with
, use different schemes thatare transferred from paper to fabric, and then used as an outline for embroidery. Perhaps for beginners this method will seem frightening - complicated, but do not rush to conclusions. Try to choose a small picture with a bouquet (not only diagrams are suitable for this purpose, but also drawn bouquets or photographs) and transfer it to the fabric using carbon paper or chalk. Not only will it be easier for you to imagine where each element of the composition will be, but it will also be easier to control the size of the flowers.

Basket of tapes

To make the flower arrangement even moreInteresting and complicate the task, you can "put" a bouquet of satin roses in a basket or vase. To do this, you will need to find the appropriate pattern and carefully transfer it to the fabric. Stock up with ribbons of necessary colors and embark on embroidery.

To create a realistic basket, you will need:You will need two shades of brown ribbon. Using a lighter ribbon, embroider the basket with even horizontal stitches. Now take another color, twist it into a bundle and go through one horizontal strip with even stitches. Calculate the distance so that these vertical bundles are at an equal distance from each other, and do not forget that on the front side they should appear in a checkerboard pattern. To make a handle, first make small stitches of one color along the drawn outline. Now take a long piece of another color and go through each stitch on the front side, as if twisting the ribbon. In a similar way, you can make a basket from satin ribbons of several colors. See the photo.
You can embroider a basket in a simpler way.To do this, you will need a wide ribbon, which must be laid according to the pattern with vertical stitches, not reaching the top and bottom edges. Thus, the stitches will narrow and widen at the edges, and the middle will be the same. Do not forget that the ribbon should not be too tight, this will destroy all the lightness of the picture.
