Ribbon Flower Ring

Lately I have sene these everywhere! They are pretty much the new thing and I just had to try it!

I apologize for the low quality pic. I cannot for the life of me find my camera so I opted for my 2 mega pixel phone camera...


Here is what you need:

♥ 1 1/2 in. silk or satin %100 polyester ribbon (or fabric) works best

♥ coordinating colored thin hair elastic ( I use the elastic that c an be found by the beading in Wal*Mart or you can get elastics from the dollar store)

♥coordinating colored felt

♥hot glue

♥lighter ( I like using the long lighter used to light fires because the small lighters get hot fast and you can get burned fast! I know this from experience)

♥jewel or beads or button for embellishment ( I like using brads so that I don't have to hot glue every petal together)

1-Cut 4 or 5 circles out of the ribbon largest to smallest.

2-Carefully burn around the edges to give the petal affect

3-Layer them largest to smallest and use hot glue too adhere them to each other.

4-Put a little jewel in the middle of the petals

5-Cut out a small circle of felt that is about half the size of the back of the biggest petal

6-Cut the elastic to the size of the finger you want to wear it on and either hot glue or sew the elastic to the back of the flower.

7-Last glue the felt on top of the elastic to give it s snug and finishing look.

There are many way you can do steps 5-7 but that is how I like to do it. It's soo simple you can easily make it in 5 min.
