Ribbon Flowers




Ribbon Bows:
We looked at this site to see how to do it: http://makeitdo.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/peony-clips/
Her flowers are tight and look pretty fancy....mine I wrapped looser and they look more casual, which I like. I also only used 1 yard of wire ribbon, she says to use 2-4 yards, which if you're doing it loose would make your flower pretty big.
And we also found that when you sinch the ribbon/pull the wire...you have to start pulling out wire from both ends of the ribbon, otherwise you'll lose your wire inside your ribbon as you pull.
Enjoy! They look cute even in my hair.
