Ribbon Embroidery Flowers: Your First Lesson.Embroidering white lilies Ribbon embroidery is quite an interesting and fascinating type of needlework, accessible to many. However, some craftswomen are afraid to take it on. Not knowing where to start. We offer a short lesson in which we will tell you how to embroider flowers with ribbons. To begin, we will draw flowers: roses, lilac branches, lilies and other buds.We select satin ribbons of four colors:pink, green and lilac with a width of 6 millimeters, white - 13 millimeters. We cut the ribbons 40 - 50 centimeters long, and those made of silk - 60 - 70 centimeters. For the first lesson, we will take a smaller picture, but no less nice. Choose the fabric at your discretion: linen or cotton. We used evenweave, since it was quite suitable in shade, you do not have to choose it. Also choose the ribbons, focusing on your taste. Needles must be chenille. You will also need regular needles and cotton threads that match the tone of the base, and scissors. In finished form, our product should be about 6 * 8 centimeters. We draw an ellipse at the bottom and begin embroidering a simple flower with a standard stitch.We recommend cutting the tape at an angle, becauseThis way it won't wear out as much. We attach the end to the original side with 2-3 stitches. Then we try on the length of the petal and sew it with a stitch, while helping ourselves with the second needle to shape the ribbon. We make subsequent stitches from the middle, without cutting the ribbon, although, as a rule, it is necessary to cut it off at the end of each stitch and secure it with a thread. We make stitches not from one point, but from the neighboring one.Now you can decorate the flower a little.To do this, sew beads or a French knot into the center. Look at the back side in advance, so that you don’t worry about it again. After that, fix the ribbon for the next flower. Their number and sizes can be very diverse, in accordance with your flight of fantasy. Naturally, the flowers should also have leaves. To do this, you will have to perform more complex actions over the ribbon, namely, form the central ribbon stitch.Let's do it like this:we bring out the ribbon and measure where it needs to be pierced. Then we sink the needle and carefully pull it to the back side, forming, at the same time, the necessary texture. Next, we made a row of stitches around the flowers that resemble buttercups. If something suddenly went wrong, the ribbon can be easily corrected by carefully smoothing it with a fingernail or the eye of a needle.Let's move on to sewing the buds and, directly,lilies. For this purpose, take a white ribbon 13 mm wide (although you can choose a different color for the lily). The buds are sewn with a left ribbon stitch. The ribbon is pierced on the left, and the bud is formed. The sepals are made similarly, but they begin to form a little lower than the base of the bud.Sewing a lily occurs using a centralstitch, while you can help with the second needle to make petals. To make flowers look more voluminous, avoid over-stretching them. If you followed our instructions correctly, then you should get ribbon embroidery like this:
