Ribbon roses are timeless favorites for embellishments. And this simple project will have you making them in no time.
Sometimes a gift that you’re wrapping needs something a little extra. Maybe it’s for a crafty friend and a store-bought bow just wouldn’t do. Or maybe it’s a wedding gift for a special couple. Whatever the reason, the answer might very well be a ribbon rose.
This ribbon rose project is from the book Elegant Ribbonwork by Helen Gibb, which features:
• Detailed step-by-step instructions, diagrams and photos
• Patterns and instructions for creating roses, blossoms, rosettes, leaves and more
• Project ideas for hats, tassels, gloves, bracelets, jackets, purses and even a bridal gown.

You’ll get step-by-step instructions for creating 28 projects including vests, belts, bags and more, as well as full-size tissue paper patterns and terrific embellishment tips and accessorizing ideas.
