Embroidery of flowers with ribbons: 3 master classes for beginners
If you have read about how to make flowers from ribbons, then you can make them and sew them onto the canvas. If you want to embroider with satin, then familiarize yourself with the subtlety of this process.
Let's start with a simple flower that even beginners can embroider.
For it you will need:
- threads;
- needle;
- satin ribbon;
- canvas;
- hoop.
Hoop the fabric. Sew 5 large stitches with the needle, like the rays of the sun. They run from the center to the edges. Take the end of the tape, put it under the first stitch, then slide the tape over the second, pass it under the third. Thus, alternating, then wind the braid under the stitch, then throwing it over the next, complete the first row.
Begin embroidering with ribbons from the inside of the flower, gradually working towards the outside. For such a weave, you don't even need a needle, do it with your hands. After you pass the ribbon under the stitch, twist the ribbon with the back facing up and over the second stitch. Next, do the second row. Where in the first the ribbon was draped over the stitch, in the second it will be on top of it.
Follow this principle to embroider further. When the stitches are closed, cut the end of the ribbon, turn it back, sew to the flower with blind stitches.
Take a look at how another satin embroidery is created, for it we will use a needle with a long eye.
- Insert the tape into the needle, sew 3 stitches evenly spaced apart.
- Bring the needle to the wrong side, make a puncture at the bottom right, take the tape out to your face. Guide it between the top two stitches. Slip it under the upper left, lower it down to the left, make a puncture here. This is the fifth stitch.
- We take out the ribbon at the top right and, periodically twisting, we begin to twist around these five petals in the same way as in the case when we made a flower, passing the braid through five thread stitches.
- Due to the fact that you will twist the ribbon, the rose petals will be the most authentic. Cut off the remaining end of the tape, secure it by sewing or gluing.
See what else can be for beginners ribbon embroidery flowers at the same time turn out to be very authentic. The next master class shows how to make a picturesque rose from the same basic material. There will be several of them in the picture, but let's start with one.
- Insert the tape into the needle, puncture from inside to face.
- Lift up a small section of the tape and make several basting stitches in it.
- Insert the needle into the fabric, pull it out from the wrong side, then from the right side.
- Puncture the tape again, twisting it with the needle. And so, continuing such manipulations, make a rose from ribbons.
- You can embroider some flowers and let them bloom on the canvas.
What other satin ribbon paintings can you easily make?
To make the panel look voluminous, use a synthetic winterizer. See how to make such a piece of painting using satin ribbons.
For such a panel, you will need:
- wide colored ribbons;
- narrow green ribbons for stems;
- synthetic winterizer;
- needle;
- thread;
- scissors;
- canvas;
- hoop;
- pencil.
For flowers, use white, pink, red, gold ribbons. These look very advantageous. Create stems from green.
- Mark with a simple pencil where you will have tulip buds, their stems.
- Put a piece of padding polyester on the first marking of the flower, slightly fluffing it up.
- Cut a piece of such a length from a wide tape so that it can be tucked up and down, and at the same time it would cover the synthetic winterizer completely.
- We work with this piece of wide tape. Fold it over on one side, stitch here with small basting stitches, and tighten the thread. Put the workpiece on the padding polyester, sew it to the canvas.
- If you placed this stitch on the bottom, then now fold the tape on top, make the same basting seam here, tucking the edge. Sew the top of the tape to the canvas.
- Without cutting the thread, sew the ribbon to the canvas from one and the second side of the tulip bud.
- Decorate all the flower parts in the same way, then proceed to the stems. To do this, burn the top edge of a green satin ribbon over a flame. Glue or blind-stitch the stem.
- To make tulip leaves, fold over the top of the stem, giving it the appropriate shape.
For convenience, you can put each fragment of the picture in a hoop during work, or immediately frame the canvas in a frame, pulling it well. This is how interesting you will get the ribbon embroidery of the picture. The work gets done pretty quickly. If you like this kind of handicraft, it can become an additional or main source of income.

If you want to use a motif on the theme of roses for your picture made of satin ribbons, then pay attention to this one.
For her, flowers are made separately, then sewn to the canvas. After that, the stems are attached here, then the panel is decorated with silver threads, bugles, and, if desired, with beads.
Here's what to use for such a picture of ribbons:
- threads to match;
- a needle with a wide and narrow hole;
- pink satin ribbons;
- crayon;
- silver thread;
- bugles.
Then follow these instructions:
- Mark the canvas with chalk to indicate where the flowers, stems, and leaves will be.
- Start making roses. For them, you can use one of the above methods or take on board the next master class with step-by-step photos.
- Take a piece of tape, lower its upper right corner to the bottom. Then do the same with the left one, tie at the bottom with a thin thread. This is the core of the flower.
- We make its petals. Also, roll both corners of the tape down, but leave a distance between them, and hem from the bottom. Wrap the bud with this petal.
- Make a few more of these petals and wrap the inner elements with them.
- Secure the bud and petals from below by stitching them with thread and a needle.
- Without removing the needles, sew the resulting ribbon flower to your painting, crushing it slightly in the center so that it becomes flatter. You can make the core of a flower from red, and its petals from a pink satin ribbon. This rose also looks very impressive.
- To make the stem, roll the ribbon into a tube and sew it in place like this. You can first put a wire inside the green tape, and twist it directly with it. Then the stem will turn out to be even.
- To make a piece of paper, fold a piece of green ribbon in half, then turn it 90 ° so that the corner is at the top. Craft 3 of these elements. Sew on.
- A double petal will turn out if you connect the ends of the ribbon, twist it in the form of a bow.
- After all the petals are attached in place, let your imagination run wild and embroider the space around the flowers with silver threads and bugles.
