In this article we will talk about ribbon decorations.The history of thin strips of fabric made from natural plant fibers began many centuries ago, and such ribbons served primarily as hair clips. The girls wove them into their braids. During the period of antiquity, Greek and Roman women decorated their hair with ribbons with gold embroidery and precious stones. To create a satin weave in those days, cotton and linen were used, and in Ancient China, ribbons were made, of course, from silk. In the Middle Ages, ribbons began to be used for room decoration. They were attached to furniture and used as holders for curtains and canopies. The popularization of ribbons in clothing and interior design occurred in the mid-15th century. Louis XI invites weavers from Italy to Lyon to teach local residents the art of creating ribbons. Two centuries later, the city turns into one of the largest textile centers. In the surrounding area, more than forty-five thousand people are employed in factories and more than eighty thousand looms are used to weave ribbons of a wide variety of sizes and designs. Another of the kings who adored ribbons was Louis XIV. In the 18th century, a new stage in the popularity of ribbons began. They decorated not only the king’s clothes and furniture. Ribbons with precious stones and embroidery were even placed on the shoes of the French ruler. Over time, the ribbons firmly settled on the ladies’ dresses, and then decorated their underwear. Now bright ribbons can be found at almost every step. They decorate clothes, hairstyles, accessories, home decoration, gifts and much more. In this article we will offer several master classes with step-by-step photographs and a detailed description of creating jewelry from satin ribbons using a variety of techniques. Hair band woven from ribbonsThis one is very simple and at the same time beautiful andoriginal accessory. It is quite easy to weave, and several options in different colors will allow you to become the owner of a decoration for different outfits. Using this technique you can weave not only a headband. Use the proposed technique to create belts, decorative trims for outfits, handbags or hats. To work you will need:

Satin ribbons of two contrasting colors (narrow);
Candle or lighter.

Below is a master class with step-by-step photos. By following them you can easily make such a beautiful bandage. On two narrow satin ribbons of contrastingcolors need to be folded approximately 10 cm and crossed. The short ends of the tapes should be on top. Now we wrap one loop (upper) around the second (lower) and thread the second loop into the first. Tighten the first ribbon while holding the second one with your fingers. Follow the photo, now you need to thread the loop from the first ribbon into the loop formed by the second ribbon, etc. When the bandage reaches the required length, pull the ribbon completely through the loop. Tighten and straighten.You need to make two knots at the ends.At one end we already have about 10 cm, leave the same length at the second. Melt the edges of the ribbons over the fire. The hair band is ready. Hairband with a flower made of ribbons using the kanzashi techniqueTo work you will need:

Wrap for hair;
Tape of satin (5 cm wide white, green, yellow, 4 cm wide white, 2.5 cm wide white and green);
Organza of green color;
Candle or lighter;
A piece of plastic for a white base;
Needle and thread;
Glue (the optimum version of the glue is the moment of the crystal);
Scissors;
A soldering iron or a burner for wood;
Button in the shape of a “ladybug”;
Ruler.

To create a chamomile you will need to cut whitewide ribbon into squares. Need 12 pieces. Now we roll them into round petals. Below are step-by-step photos of creating such blanks. It is necessary to fold the satin square in half diagonally, the shiny side out. Fold line at top. Now we fold the right and left corners towards the middle. The figure resembles a rhombus. We bend the right and left corners of the rhombus towards each other on the wrong side, as shown in the photo.Now you need to cut off the bottom corner of the workpieceand melt over the fire. We collect all the petals on a thread. They need to be aligned so that you can see what the diameter of the internal hole of the future chamomile for the core is. We turn the workpiece inside out and melt the edges of the petals, thus gluing the flower into one whole. We connect two petals, melt them and squeeze them with our fingers.In the same way we make a blank from tape 4cm wide. The flower will be slightly smaller. For the base where we will attach the petals, we cut out a circle from plastic. You can take a piece of cardboard. We trim the circle with white satin ribbon. Turn the base over so the seam is facing up. Apply glue and attach the larger flower. Glue a smaller flower on top of it, arranging the petals in a checkerboard pattern relative to the first tier. Using Moment Crystal glue is the best choice for such crafts. It dries quite quickly (2 – 3 minutes), you won’t have to wait several hours, and at the same time you will have time to find the optimal arrangement of the petalsThe next stage – creating a core.Cut out squares with a side of 3.5 cm from yellow tape. You will need 8 pieces. We roll them into sharp petals. Fold the square diagonally. The shiny side is out, the fold line is located at the top. Now fold the workpiece in half again (right corner to left) and again. All that remains is to melt the edges and the petal is ready.We fasten the petals with a needle and thread. On the wrong side, glue a circle of yellow ribbon to the base. It needs to melt the edges to prevent frizz. Now glue on the front side of the yellowcores, a bead or a button in the shape of a ladybug, and now we attach this entire structure to two tiers of white petals. For the leaves, cut green and yellow ribbon, as well as organza, into 11 x 2 cm rectangles. Fold in pairs: organza with ribbons of different colors. You will need 4 paired blanks. Now we place the strips with the tape facing us and fold them in half. Organza is the top layer. Now we place the workpiece on a flat surface (preferably ceramic), apply a ruler diagonally, not reaching the corner, and draw it with a soldering iron or wood burner. The edge of the resulting workpiece immediately becomes melted. If you don't have the right tools, just run it over the fire.Connecting leaves with yellow and green ribbonin pairs (see photo). Decorate with thin white and green ribbons. All that remains is to glue first the leaves and then the flower to the headband, and the satin ribbon hair decoration is ready. Another option for hair decoration is the following flower.Materials and tools:

Tape of satin white with a width of 2.5 cm and a length of about 75 cm, and a square 5 x 5 cm;
The tape from the wine atlas is 2.5 cm wide and 1 m long;
Bead in tone tapes;
Instant glue (the moment the crystal is suitable);
Tweezers;
Candle or lighter.

In this master class, a flower is obtainedtwo-color, but you can choose one or more colors according to your taste or creative idea. Cut ribbons 2.5 cm wide into rectangles 5 cm long. You will need 15 pieces of white and 20 pieces of wine color. To make a petal, fold the satin piece in half lengthwise with the shiny side facing out. I cut off one corner and melt the cut over the fire so that it sticks together. Now we wrap the two lower free corners onto the front side, as in the photo. Cut off a little and melt over the fire. We make white petals in the same way.From a white square 5 x 5 cm, cut out a circle andmelt the edges over the flame. We place it with the shiny side facing away from us and begin gluing 10 petals, taking approximately 1/3 of the circle from the edge. Alternate colors. Glue the next tier in a checkerboard pattern relative to the first at a distance of approximately 2/3 from the edge of the circle. Glue the third and fourth tiers in the same way.Attach a bead to the center and the flower is ready.It can be attached to a hairpin, hairband, or brooch pin. Or maybe you have your own version for such a beautiful decoration made from ribbons. Ribbons can be used for more than just hairstyles. Bright pieces of satin make original elements for interior decor. Fragrant basket made of satin ribbonsMaterials and tools:

Soap (the shape can be round or oval, and the smell is necessarily beloved);
Ribbon satin 5 mm wide (its edges should be protected from stratification, it can be fused over fire or applied glue);
A thin wire;
English pins (with balls at the end).

Soap in this design will play the rolebaskets. First you need to make marks at a distance of 5 mm from the edge. Now we’ll carve four pins into opposite edges of the soap. Next, we arrange the remaining pins symmetrically. Now you need to perform a similar manipulation with the second side of the soap. For the bottom you will need to step back from the edge by about 0.7 – 1 cm. No need to stick the pins too deep.Turn the workpiece back over and pick it upribbon. In order to secure it, you need to pull out one of the pins, pin the end of the ribbon on it and insert it back into the hole. Now, following the step-by-step photos, we begin to wrap the workpiece, hooking the tape first to the upper and then to the lower pins. It looks like a figure eight. It is necessary that the ribbon completely covers the sides of the soap. It is quite possible that you will need to go through several layers for this. When the sides of the basket look like they should, do not cut the tape. Now you need to make turns around each pin and the top and bottom. To make the craft look more original and beautiful, after you finish braiding, you will need to insert pins along the flat side. We braid them in the same way: we make a turn of the ribbon around the pin clockwise. You can use a wire as a basket handle. It also needs to be wrapped with ribbon. If desired, you can further decorate the basket with flowers, beads or any other decorative elements. Satin ribbons are great for bottle decoration. In the master class below we suggest decorating a bottle of champagne. Such a wonderful souvenir is perfect for any occasion, be it a birthday, wedding celebration or New Year. Champagne bottle decorated with ribbonsMaterials and tools:

Tape of satin of the liked color of 5 sm (approximately 4 meters);
A ribbon made of brocade is golden (about 2 meters);
Glue;
Scissors;
A bottle of champagne;
Elements of decor (beads in color ribbon, lace, thin ribbons of brocade);
Stationery knife.

When will you choose champagne for thiscrafts, give preference to a bottle with gold foil without inscriptions. In this master class, a tape 5 cm wide is used. Keep in mind that the width of the tape will determine its consumption along the length; the thinner the tape, the more it will be required. You can work in two versions – pieces of ribbon, the length of which will be equal to one turn, or wrap the bottle, cutting off the ribbon as needed. When applying glue, try to do a spot application so that excess glue does not spoil the appearance of the bottle. We fix the first piece of tape in such a way that the edge of the golden paper wrapper is hidden. Make sure to stretch the tape well before finally attaching it. Make sure that the ends of the ribbons follow the order of weaving (see photo). The braid-like pattern should run along the central vertical line of the bottle. Attach 4 pieces of ribbon of the first color. In weaving, the right ends of the tape of each turn are on top, and the left ends are on the bottom.Now let's start decorating with golden ribbonanalogies with the previous steps. At this stage, difficulties may arise, because brocade does not stretch well and has a rigid structure. Glue on 2 strips and start decorating the bottom of the bottle.We glue a golden stripe to the very bottom.Above are satin ribbons. In this part of the bottle, the lines should be horizontal, and not inclined, as before. The connection line of the strips is located strictly vertically at the back of the bottle. To disguise it you will need a piece of satin ribbon. Using a utility knife, carefully pry up the lowest ribbon and place the end of the new piece, coated with glue, in this hole. Now we apply glue to the entire surface of this piece of satin ribbon pointwise, paying special attention to the edges. All that remains is to glue it to the seam formed by the horizontal stripes.Now you can decorate the bottle with lace, beads, bows or any other decorative elements.
