How To Make Ribbon Roses

Ribbon roses are easy to make despite their complicated appearance. There are few techniques used in making ribbon roses. More often, it depends on the type of ribbon used. Each method will produce a slightly different flower. You can experiment using different types and widths of ribbon to make ribbon flowers. The wider the width of the ribbon, the bigger the flower will be. The longer the ribbon, the fuller the flower. I will show you how to make a ribbon rose using satin ribbon.
