How Do You Make Flowers & Bows From Ribbon?
On its own, ribbon can create a flowing and colorful decoration. For certain events such as weddings, showers and other types of parties, ribbons alone may not be decorative enough for your theme. You can use ribbon in a variety of ways to create festive decorations such as flowers and bows that can match your themed party. Cut 1 ½ yards of wire ribbon. Grasp the wire at one end and bunch the ribbon slightly toward that end to form small wrinkles. Glue the bunching end of the ribbon to a piece of stem wire using craft glue or all-purpose glue. Allow the glue to dry completely. Gently wrap the ribbon around the stem wire so that it forms the shape of a flower. Spread the ribbon out around the center as needed so that it keeps its petal-like shape. Secure the other end of the ribbon to the stem wire with a piece of green floral tape to maintain the flower shape. Wrap the whole wire with this tape to create a green stem for your flower. Lay out 3 yards of ribbon on a flat surface in front
