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.

The patterns come from the book Denim by Design by Barb Chauncey. In it, she teaches you how to create stylish fashions from both new denim and recycled denim often found at thrift stores, garage sales or your own closet. 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.
