This month the design team at Fantastic Ribbons were asked to create a project with ribbon flowers and for my project I decided to decorate a summer door wreath.
The flowers on this wreath are made from a selection of ribbons all available from Fantastic Ribbons. I always have a seasonal wreath on our front door, but wanted to create an inviting summery wreath for an internal door.
To make the 'loopy' flower, just take a small square of card, locate the centre and stitch the ribbon in loops joining at the centre. When you have finished, trim away any excess card and you will have a looped flower like the one below. I have added a second blossom to the centre, along with a bead.
The blossom in the centre of the loopy flower is made by zig zag stitching along a length of ribbon: when you get to the end, just pull it together and sew the ends to create a double ruched affect and a very full blossom.
My third blossom was made by simply making a running stitch along a length of ribbon;pull it in at the end, sew the two ends together and you will have a flower just like the one below, to which I have added some pearl beads.
Thank you very much for visiting and I do hope that you have been inspired to brighten up your rooms with some ribbon for the summer!
