Step-by-Step Guide to Making Yarn Ribbon Flowers

Step 1: Wrap the Ribbon Around the Card

Take your 4cm wide ribbon and start wrapping it around the bank card lengthwise. Wrap it 5-6 times to create layers for the petals. Make sure to wrap it loosely so it doesn’t get too tight when removed.

Step 2: Secure the Center with Thread

Once you've wrapped the ribbon enough times, carefully slide it off the card while keeping the loops intact. Use a needle and thread (or a thin wire) to tie the center tightly, creating a bow-like shape.

Step 3: Cut and Shape the Petals

Take scissors and cut through the loops on both ends of the ribbon to create individual petal shapes. You can trim the edges into rounded or pointed shapes depending on your preferred flower style.

Step 4: Seal the Edges (Optional)

To prevent fraying, you can lightly heat-seal the edges of the ribbon with a lighter or fabric sealer. This step is especially useful if you’re using satin or silk ribbon instead of yarn-based ribbon.

Step 5: Fluff and Arrange the Petals

Now that your flower is taking shape, gently fluff the petals and adjust them to create a full, realistic look. You can also slightly curl the edges by running the ribbon between your fingers.

Step 6: Add a Decorative Center

For a beautiful finishing touch, glue or sew a bead, pearl, or button at the center of the flower. This adds elegance and makes your flower look more polished.

Step 7: Attach Your Flower

Your yarn ribbon flower is now ready to be used! You can attach it to:

✔ Hair clips or headbands
✔ Gift wrapping
✔ Home decor projects
✔ DIY fashion accessories
