How to make ruffle ribbon flowers

By Kelly Hansen

Every month we get these awesome kits in the mail. After playing around with my kit, I always have leftover embellishments. The one thing I hate to see is good product just sitting around in a little baggie. Not sure what to do with these little pieces you get in those kits????
Well, check this out! I took some ribbon I had laying around, added it to the June mini kit and went to work on some ruffle ribbon flowers.

You will need:

*needle & coordinating thread
*ribbon (about 10″)

1. With a needle and thread (or you can use a sewing machine) sew a simple basting stitch along one edge (photo above).

2. When you have sewed all the way to the end, pull the thread tight. The fabric will ruffle up (photo above).

3. Stitch the two ends together to make a complete circle (photo above). If you want, you can repeat this process with another pattern of ribbon. Adding layers is beautiful (photo below).

4. Trim off your threads and finish your flower. Dress the center of your flower up with beads, jewels or even buttons (photo below). I used all the leftover embellishments from June mini kit.

Here are all the ruffle flowers I made:

Take a look at the layout I made with these adorable little flowers. The layout is so simple and sweet!!
