Ribbon = Serpentine Flower
.
Inspiration:
Ribbon Crafts by Elaine Schmidt – Serpentine Gathered Flower (Page 96)
Â
Â
Supplies:
Ribbon
Needle
Thread
Marker (not pictured)
Ruler (not pictured)
Scissors
Â
1. Cut a length of ribbon, 1.5 feet to 3 feet. I cut a ribbon length of 1.5 feet. Make a mark every inch, staggering the placement on opposite sides.
Â
2. Knot thread at the first mark. Stitch diagonally in a zigzag pattern, wrapping the thread around the outer edge at each mark.
Â
3. Pull the thread, gathering the ribbon.
Â
4. Continue stitching and gathering until the entire ribbon length is done.
5. Form a tight circle and tack the ends together. Trim any excess ribbon.
6. Easy and pretty. You can play with different widths and lengths of ribbon to create a variety of looks.
Looks so easy and a fab result.
I never would have thought something that pretty was so easy to make! I can do this! Thanks for posting!
How pretty! I never would have thought of that. Great for those special gifts and even as hair bows!
So pretty, and what a great idea!
Those are so pretty and so easy to do!
Oh, that’s so pretty! I bet it would be EVEN prettier sewed to a doggie collar! That would be the Most Stylin’ doggie in town.
