The advantages and disadvantages of creating flowers from tapes with your own hands
The benefits are much greater. Firstly, creating flowers from ribbons helps preserve wildlife. Crafts look like real ones - this is the main plus. Creating flowers from ribbons is a simple and at the same time low-cost way to decorate the interior. They will not fade and will last as long as necessary. Ribbon flowers will be a great gift for March Eighth or Valentine's Day. Products are made in any colors - this is another advantage over living plants. And adult women and little girls will be interested in experimenting with the shape of the flowers and the look of the finished composition. The masters have the opportunity to use any jewelry at their discretion, to create interesting, unlike anything else shapes. Ribbon products have some disadvantages. Beginners need to spend a lot of time to make a bouquet of a large number of flowers. Lack of own smell is also a disadvantage. Fresh flowers create a special atmosphere due to their aroma, while artificial ones lack such qualities.
Whole ribbon rose
You can use a narrow 1.5 cm ribbon, then the product will turn out to be small in height and with a dense texture, a large number of bends. But the best option involves the use of a relatively wide 4-centimeter tape. First, protruding strings come off from it, and one of the edges is fused with a lighter. On the same side, the bulk of the work begins. The end folds in half, creating a diagonal fold.The corner bends down, and around it begins the process of twisting the core of the rose. When the diagonal bend is almost invisible, you need to turn the ribbon upside down. The rolled-up part is pasted over, after which the strip turns over again. Then you need to continue to "collect" the flower, repeating these actions after each full turn. Toward the end of the ribbon, the lower part of the flower begins to form. The tail is pasted over and twisted. The product is fastened with thread.
Do not do too much tension, otherwise the craft will not turn out so magnificent.
Roses from kapron ribbon
The simplest manufacturing method involves the use of scissors, needle for thread, nylon thread, nylon fabric. The rosette develops starting from the core. The central part is formed by bending one of the ends of the tape and wrapping it with the opposite, free edge. The resulting layers are pierced with a needle. The remaining free section is wrapped around the center. At each turn, three bends outward are done. Each of them will form a separate petal. To fix the product, the flower must be processed with a thread. There is also a more complex embodiment, for which you will additionally need a sponge, acrylic paints, synthetic winterizer, oval or rounded shapes, several pieces of wire. Pigtails will be the basis of individual petals. The cookie cutters are wrapped and fragments of kapron tissue are pulled from above. They are attached with a thread. The center is made of dyed synthetic winterizer. All that remains is to attach the stem.
Kanzashi Flowers
Kanzashi (kanzashi) is a kind of Japanese jewelry, mainly for women, as well as the name of the technology for their manufacture. Finished products usually consist of flowers and leaves, but there are other options associated with plants. In total, there are about 5-10 basic subspecies of this technique, including tsumami-kanzashi, birakan, mimikaki kanzashi.Not all of them look like typical modern kanzashi. This method involves the use of a fire source to give the petals and leaves a characteristic shape. Atlas is used as material for products, less often - fabrics similar in parameters. In the process, you will need such devices as scissors, a glue gun, rubber bands, hair clips, stamens, pins, tweezers. Temperature exposure is necessary for manipulation with the edges of the molds, as well as for their connection. Fragments of small length, most often rectangles, are cut from satin material. Their corners are joined or trimmed (flat or rounded).
Simple five-leafed flower
Since the product will consist only of a cup with petals, it is better to make a few pieces. Squares of 5 × 5 or 6 × 6 cm are cut from satin material. They are folded diagonally. Then a square is made by bending the corners of the triangle. Then it again folds into a triangle, and a strip 2-3 mm wide is cut from the side with the largest number of free edges. The machined side is gripped with tweezers, and the workpiece is brought to the candle. The trimmed edge is melted. Immediately after this, it must be flattened. You must wait ten seconds and begin to give the mold a convex appearance. Then the foundation is made: an elastic band is installed on the round billet. It is necessary to make incisions and with the help of glue and another circle to fix it. Petals are attached to the flat part of the structure, also with glue.
Flowers are best done in different colors:
orange
pink;
yellow
blue
in red.
Bell

ruler;
glass;
burner.
A ribbon 2.5 cm wide is cut into fragments of 5 cm each. Two pieces are applied to each other on the wrong side. Then they are placed on the glass.Using a ruler, a diagonal line is highlighted. All fragments are cut with a hot knife. After that, they are soldered along the cut line. Short edges are first flashed separately, and then connected to each other. After that, the front side of the acute part of the connected petals is fused with a candle. Deformation from temperature exposure must not be allowed. Then the end quickly twists, so that a bend to the outside is obtained. Five such elements must be made to create one flower. Then you need to work with the stamens: they bend in half, are wrapped in wire and twisted. The tops of the stamens are smeared with glue and five petals are attached to them.
Aster
You will need: a thread with a needle, several beads, a lighter, scissors, a green mesh, a satin ribbon, thick cardboard, a glue gun. It is not necessary to choose natural tones to create a flower, any bright shades will do. First of all, the tape is cut into a large number of segments: from thirty or more. Its width should be 2.5-3 cm, the length of the fragments - 6-7 cm. Each section is folded in half - into a narrow strip. Then a small fragment is cut from one end with scissors. This should be done at an angle of 45 °. The cut edge is fused with a lighter and glued together. Two opposite corners bend inward and melt with fire. And so 30 petals. Then a small circle is cut out of cardboard. It is covered with satin material. Two rows of petals are glued to this base. Some add variety and create another row in the middle, in a different color. The finished composition is decorated with beads.
Pion
Required: the base for the brooch, ribbon, large bead, needle, bead or monofilament, scissors, tweezers, candle, matches. Circles of different sizes are cut from the tape. The splendor of the final product depends on their quantity. All elements are melted by the fire of a candle. It is necessary to achieve a wavy shape around the entire perimeter of the future petal.After that, they form a bottom. To do this, a small cut is made so that approximately 1/5 of the circumference is a straight line. The next step is to stitch several petals into groups. Circles are combined in sequence from large to smaller. Then, using the thread, the central part of the flower is created: a large bead is attached to the base under the brooch. After that, the petals are attached to the product. Now it can be used as a brooch or a hairpin or to make an elastic band.
Hibiscus
It will be required:
Scissors;
Candle;
Super glue;
Template with a side of 6 cm;
Thin floristic wire and two satin ribbons of different colors - one will imitate a flower (it is better to choose a pink one), and the other a stem.
You will also need stamens in the color of a pink ribbon. First of all, a 6-centimeter rectangle is cut out of a green ribbon. On the one hand, he needs to give the appearance of a leaf: two angles are cut with scissors. Enough of one such element. From pink you need to make five petals. Using the template, the required number of pieces is measured and cut. Forms resembling a drop are cut from fragments. One of the edges is rounded. It is difficult to cut the ideal shape, so you need to fold all the segments together or use another template in the form of the desired petal. Next, the smooth side of the leaf is melted. Petals are processed by fire around the perimeter, the rounded part is then stretched by hands. Then all the fragments come together and are attached. The stalk is made out by a green ribbon. A leaf of the same color is attached to it - the product is ready.
Flower of braid-wave and braid zigzag
Very original products are created from wavy braid. You will need a needle with a thread, scissors, one braid wave 50 cm long or two 30 cm long (preferred). First of all, two segments are intertwined, like curls in a braid. This blank is sewn on a typewriter.Then the bud is made: the braid is folded and fixed with glue in several places, preferably once for each revolution. The end is tucked and also fixed with glue. In this form, the product will imitate a peony, and if you turn out the petals - it will resemble a rose. A very original non-standard product will be obtained from a zigzag braid. A piece with 20 bends is required. The ends of the fragment are stitched. For this, an allowance is left in advance. Then, using the thread, you need to flash 10 elements (through one). Then this ring is assembled in a compact circle and fixed. Then it becomes flat, and in the end all the petals will be directed clockwise or counterclockwise.
Lace ribbon flower
You will need a fastener (elastic band, hoop or hairpin), a lace-colored thread, a circle of fleece of the same color, 2 meters of lace. The first step is preparing the material and fastening. Then, along a straight, non-decorative edge, lace is sewn with a needle with a double thread. A seam “forward needle” is used. The thread stretches and the lace fabric is pulled together. The folds are evenly distributed along the entire length of the tape. No need to separate the needle and thread. They are fixed for a while at the end of the lace. Next, you need a second needle with thread: it is sewn to the fleece circle in a spiral. It is necessary to make sure that the lace "looks" face up. The core of the flower is decorated to your taste: with buttons or beads. From the remaining lace fabric, you can make a mini-bud and sew it to the central part of the product. The first thread is now fixed and trimmed - the work is completed. It should be noted separately the appearance of the products. Flowers from a thick lace ribbon with ornaments with ornamental stones look very original.
Paper ribbon flowers
Many people remember them from childhood: birthdays, New Years and the Feast of St. Nicholas rarely did without these decorations. They are made simple. 9 strips 1.5 cm wide are drawn on a paper sheet.They are cut out, and then reduced to the desired size. You need 3 pieces with a length of 25 cm and the same for 22 cm, two for 19 cm and one strip 9 cm long. The shortest one bends into a ring and is fixed with a stapler. All the rest are twisted by the "eight" and also fixed. Fragments are stacked on top of each other. Inside the bud will be small "eights." A ring is placed in the very center. Pieces of double-sided tape can be used both before the bud was created to create an adhesive surface on the fragments, and later, for reliable fastening. The paper itself can be different: just colored or decorative with different stripes.
To create such a product yourself, you will need to use:
paper;
scissors;
a ruler;
pencil;
stapler;
Double-sided tape.
Narrow ribbon camomile
It will take eight ribbons, four blue and as many purple. Each length should be 15 cm and a width of 0.6 cm. First, the purple strip folds in half, and the top of the folded end is smeared with glue and attached to a soft round base, exactly in the center. Then the remaining purple ribbons are glued. This is done so that between the ends of all the strips there is the same distance. After that, 8 drops of glue are applied to the central parts of these “rays”. The end of one protruding strip is attached to the center of the adjacent one and so on around the circle. This part of the work needs to be done very slowly, otherwise the petals will turn out different. Next you need to do the blue stripes. They are attached over purple, and then their edges are drawn through the eyelets. Then the blue ends twist in the same way as the purple ones.
Flower wrapping tape
To create a craft, you need a needle, a floss, tailor pins, a round metal template with protruding knitting needles and the packing tape itself (you can choose a simple transparent one). First, a template is taken, and a ribbon is gradually wound around it.Stitches need to be placed on the opposite edge of the needle. When the tape is fully wound, the center stands out. To do this, connect the petals in the middle with a needle and thread. Center darn in a circle. The free edge of the tape is cut under the central part. The petal is removed from the needles - it remains only to arrange a flower. The craft should be decorated with decorative elements. You can paint it from a spray can. A monotonous color will look best, but it is worth trying to use different molds and paint the flower in an original way, for example, “polka dots”.
