Ribbon Rose

Please bear with me . . . I'm now into making embellishments for headbands.   Not sure how I'm gonna put everything together yet, but this is the start at least.  I'm so glad that I like to save scraps of ribbon from gifts 'cause this red ribbon turned out to be perfect for this project.



I started by putting a dab of glue onto a piece of felt.


I then folded the ribbon in half and rolled one end and stuck it onto the felt.  Notice the twist in the ribbon.


The twist is the key.


Add glue to the base and wrap the ribbon around the core, every once in awhile putting a twist into the ribbon.


When you've reached your desired size, cut off and glue the raw edge underneath the bottom.


You can glue a pearl into the center if you like make um fancy.
