This article will talk about the queen of gardens- a rose. We will offer several master classes on how to create it yourself from various ribbons. This amazingly beautiful flower has delighted and captivated people for many hundreds of years. There are countless legends about the rose among different peoples. Greek myths tell us that the white rose appeared from the sea foam that enveloped the body of the goddess Aphrodite as she came ashore. According to an Iranian legend, all the flowers came to Allah and asked him for a new ruler, instead of the beautiful, but lazy and idle lotus. Allah heeded their requests, creating a beautiful white rose with sharp thorns. According to Hindu beliefs, the goddess Lakshmi was born from a rosebud - the embodiment of beauty. Scandinavian legends say that in the spring, from the laughter of the god of fire Loki, the snow melts and roses bloom. The queen of the gardens was a highly revered flower among many peoples. In the Roman Empire, rose wreaths were awarded to the winners of battles. When Cleopatra received the commander Mark Antony, his path to the queen's chambers was strewn with rose petals several tens of centimeters high. In Christian mythology, the white rose is considered the flower of the Virgin Mary. Roses were depicted on the coats of arms of many noble families of antiquity. There are many varieties of roses now, from the usual shades of pink and red, to completely unusual ones: emerald green, blue, black and dazzling white. In this article, we will make roses from ribbons. Due to the wide variety of ribbons in size, texture and color, roses from them always turn out different and beautiful. Such crafts will be an excellent decoration for a hat or handbag. They will become an original brooch, decorate a hair clip or turn into a charming boutonniere.
Rose of ribbons
Option 1 Rose from ribbons 1 cm wide
You will need:
- The tape is 1 cm wide (about 75-80 cm);
- Needle and kapron thread in a thin ribbon;
- A large needle with a wide eye;
- Cloth (you can take a napkin);
- hoop;
- Coin;
- Pencil;
- Scissors;
- Elements of decor (lace, pearls) at will.
On the canvas you need to draw the outline of the coinand mark five points at equal distances along the perimeter. Mark the center of the circle. Secure the fabric on the hoop and use a nylon thread to match the ribbon to embroider a snowflake with five "rays" intersecting in the center. Secure the thread on the back side.
Now we take the ribbon and tie it at one endknot. Insert the other end into the eye of the "gypsy" needle. Start embroidering the rose. Pass the needle with the ribbon from the inside to the front in the center of the circle. We have five "rays" of nylon threads. We will pass the ribbon in a circle, alternately threading the ribbon, now over the "ray", then under it. Twist the ribbon in a spiral. The splendor of the rose will directly depend on the number of turns of the ribbon. The ribbon should not be pulled too tightly, this can deform the fabric and make the rose petals flat.
Once you have reached the required volumeflower, bring the ribbon to the wrong side and tie a knot similar to the first end of the ribbon. Most ribbons are quite silky, and the knots may come undone over time. To prevent this from happening, grab both ends of the ribbon from the wrong side with a couple of stitches using regular thread.
You can sew several into the corebeads-pearls. As an additional decorative element, you can use a small-diameter round lace. Just align its center with the center of the intersection of the snowflake "rays" that serve to attach the ribbon. Now you can embroider the rose, as indicated above.
Finally, you need to trim off the excess fabric, leaving the necessary minimum so that the thread fastening does not unravel. Option 2
You will need:
- The tape is 5 cm wide;
- Needle and thread in the tone of the tape;
- English pins (you can take any pins with heads);
- Candle or lighter;
- Sharp scissors.
First you need to cut the blanks forpetals. For one rose flower you will need: 8 pieces 10.5 cm long and 9 pieces 11.5 cm long. The edges of all the pieces must be melted over a candle or lighter flame so that they do not fluff up. We start making a rosebud from a smaller piece. Turn it over with the front side away from you and bend the upper right corner down, as shown in the photo. We have a small shiny triangle. Secure it with a pin. Now take the lower right corner and wrap it from right to left. Secure it with a thread.Bend back a small strip of ribbon along the top edge. Make a couple of stitches along the bottom edge and secure the bud with a thread.
The rose core is ready.Next, we start creating the petals. We arrange the ribbons as before. We bend the upper part of the ribbon by about 7 mm and secure it with pins. We bend the upper corners of the ribbon down and secure them with pins again, as shown in the photo. We go through the bottom of the workpiece with basting stitches and slightly tighten the petal.
We attach it to the bud, crossing the ends. Sew it on.
We do the same for all the other petals of both sizes. We sew them in a checkerboard pattern one after another.
This is the rose you get. Option 3
To create the next rose you will need a soldering iron.Thanks to it, there is no need to melt the edges of the tapes and glue the blanks. If you do not have a soldering iron at hand, you can use a wood burner. Sometimes it comes with a fabric attachment. You will need:
- Satin ribbon 5 cm for petals (choose the color to your taste);
- Satin ribbon is 2.5 cm for green leaves;
- Soldering iron;
- Needle and thread;
- Metal round template for petals;
- Artificial stamens;
- Glue gun and hot glue;
- Tweezers.
As a round metal template you canuse a lid from baby food or pickles. The size of the flower will ultimately depend on its diameter. Fold a 5 cm wide ribbon in half with the shiny side inward. Now you need to cut out circles with a soldering iron, as in the photo, leaving the bottom part unsoldered. For each flower you will need at least 10 of these blanks.The edges of the petals are firmly secured with a soldering iron. We turn them out with the shiny side on the front. We stitch the unsoldered bottom with a basting stitch. The thread must be pulled tight.
Fold the stamens in half. Wrap them into one petal and secure with hot glue. Then start gluing the remaining petals overlapping, like a real flower.
Advice!If you are just starting to try yourself in floristry, and this is your first flower, use Moment Crystal instead of hot glue. The first option is faster and sets in seconds. The second one needs a couple of minutes to glue, and you will have time to arrange the petals in the best positions. To create leaves, you will need pieces of green ribbon about 8 cm long. Place the piece vertically and bend the upper left corner so that the upper half of the ribbon becomes perpendicular to the lower one (see photo). Now fold the upper right corner (a) with the lower left (b). The resulting workpiece has a triangle-shaped top. Turn the future leaf with the wrong side facing out. Fold the lower right and left corners together, as in the photo. Cut off the ends a little and melt over the fire.
Now all that's left is to glue the leaves to the rose. Option 4 Rose made of ribbons using the kanzashi technique
Materials and tools:
- Tape of satin 5 cm wide;
- Needle and thread in the tone of the ribbon;
- Tweezers;
- Scissors;
- Lighter or candle.
The number of petals will depend onhow lush a rose you want to get in the end. Cut the ribbon into 5 x 5 cm squares. Melt the cuts over a flame. Now you need to fold the square in half diagonally. The fold line is located at the top.Fold the right and left corners towards the bottom.Now you need to cut off the lower corner of the workpiece in a semicircle and glue it by melting it over the fire. If you have a soldering iron, you can use it. This tool will allow you to skip the cutting stage. After working with the soldering iron, the edges of the petals will immediately be even and glued.
Let's start forming the rose.Roll the first petal into a tube. The side with the folds is located outside. Wrap the middle with the next petal and sew it. Continue sewing the petals overlapping. The side with the folds should always be on the outside.
This is the rose that came out. Option 5. A gorgeous, lush rose made of champagne-colored satin ribbon.
You will need:
- Satin ribbon (wide);
- Candle or lighter;
- Scissors;
- Needle and thread in ribbon color.
The tape must be cut into square pieces.We cut out rose petals from them in such a way that one of the processed ends of the ribbon is the bottom of the petals. You can take a real petal as a sample. We melt the edges of the cuts over the fire, turning the back side to the flame. After this, the petals will become slightly curved. For one flower, you will need from 10 to 15 petals.For the core of the flower, we twist the bud.Take a rectangular piece of ribbon and fold it in half lengthwise. The fold line is at the top. Lower the upper right corner (about 4 cm) down to form a right angle. Now fold the lower right part of the folded corner again and secure with a couple of stitches of thread. Do not cut it off, start twisting the ribbon around the bundle. Sew the workpiece with thread every two or three turns. When the bud is large enough, fold the free end of the ribbon down. Secure with thread.
Now you need to sew the petals around the bud. Attach them overlapping, as shown in the photo, with the convex shiny front side facing the bud.
Now you can attach the leaf and the rose is ready. Option 6 Miniature rose
This crumb will look great as a hair band decoration. You will need:
- Satin ribbon (medium in width) for petals and leaves;
- Safety pins;
- Needle and thread in the tone of the ribbon.
You need to put the ribbon on the table and bend itfrom left to right about 6 cm. Take this end of the tape and bend it down so that a 45 ⁰ fold is formed. Secure this bend with a pin. The end of the tape looks down. Bend the other end of the tape up in the same way. Secure the bend with a pin as well. This is what you should end up with.If you unfold our workpiece, you will see 4small squares. Do not remove the pins. Turn it back and use a basting stitch along the entire perimeter of the workpiece. Now you can remove the pins and tighten the thread a little. Turn the resulting spherical workpiece and straighten the petals of the future rose.
Now we make the core of the flower.For this, you will need another piece of tape. Fold its ends crosswise so that the upper part forms a loop (see photo). Use pins to fix the intersection of the ends of the tape. Cut the ends and stitch with a basting stitch, as shown in the photo. The figure resembles a pentagon with sides of different lengths. Tighten the thread and again get a spherical blank, but it does not have a hole in the center, like the previous one.
Now we insert the smaller part into the larger one,we close the hole in this way. We got such a cute little rose. It remains to make leaves for it. For this we will need a green ribbon. At one end we roll a cone, simply throwing the edge of the ribbon over (see photo). At the other end we also need to make a similar figure. We need to fix the places where the ribbon is connected with a pin, and then sew them to the finished rose.
Now you can attach the craft to an elastic band or hair clip. Option 7 Open lush rose made of satin ribbon
Materials and tools:
- Tape of satin of two colors (for petals and for leaves) 5 cm wide;
- Glue gun and hot glue;
- Scissors;
- Candle or lighter;
- Element decor for the core (a beautiful button, a large bead or something to your choice).
We cut the tape into pieces.For one rose flower you will need: 10 pieces of 5 x 5 cm, 10 pieces of 5 x 6 cm, 10 pieces of 5 x 7 cm and 12 pieces of 5 x 8 cm. Round off the right and left corners at the narrower side. Now you need to melt all the blanks over the fire. Pinch the even narrow edge, as in the photo. You can fix it with glue or melt it again.Now all that remains is to assemble it using glue.pistol flower we start with the inner circle of the smallest petals. Glue them together overlapping. You will need about 5 pieces. The next layer and all subsequent ones will go in a checkerboard pattern. In the center we insert the core: a beautiful button, artificial stamens or a bead.
If you want to make leaves, you will need 6- 7 pieces of green ribbon 5 x 5 cm. From five we make exactly the same blanks as the petals. Glue them to the bottom of our flower. From two pieces of green ribbon we make a base for the flower. To do this, we coat the back sides with glue and glue them together. Cut out a circle from the blank. It is necessary to melt the edges over the fire. Now we glue the rose with leaves to this circle and it is ready. It can be used as a decoration for hairpins and elastic bands for hair. Make a brooch, decorate a handbag or a hat.
From small roses you can also make a charming and delicate topiary - a European tree of happiness. For this, the crafts must have a flat base. Experiment, create.
