In fact, for modeling in this master class is offered quite a difficult flower, or rather, a flower composition. It consists of a triple bouquet of roses of red, pink and white colors. They are located on a beautiful lush stand, made of a large number of thin loops of ribbon in the same colors, but with lurex. Since the bandage is intended for a little girl, it is decorated with a fragment in pink colors, it is better to take a white or pink base.

Total Time: 1 hour

  1. Make a loop of ribbon

    Orienting on the list of materials, you prepare quite a lot of thin satin strips with lurex. All of them are the same length, but of different colors. From them it is planned to make loops – details for a lush base flower. Just combine the opposite ends of each strip, but not squeezing with your fingers on both sides, but overlapping each other. This is demonstrated by the photo. Fix the strips in this position with a lighter, lightly touching the strip with the fire. If you can’t do this, use hot glue.

  2. Make all the loops of ribbons

    In total you need to make 32 pieces each of satin ribbon with lurex in red and pink colors, 24 pieces of ribbon of the same texture in white color. The size of the strips is 0,5*7 cm. From the whole set of parts make the same loops. Prepare a round felt base for the future dressy composition.

  3. Glue the pink loops

    Divide the pink portion of loops into 2 parts of 16 pieces. Glue the first and the second layer on the edge of the circle. You will get the initial blank for the flower. You can see it on the third photo.

  4. Glue the white loops

    Make 24 white loops. Divide this amount in half by 12 pieces. Glue the third and fourth layer in the center, as shown in the fourth photo. In general, the white layer will be shifted to the center, so you will need fewer pieces for it.

  5. Turn the round piece over
