Tutorial: Embroidered Peony with Satin Ribbons

Today I want to tell you how I embroider peony with satin ribbons.

You will need:

  • satin ribbon of 1.2 cm, 2 cm, 4 cm wide;
  • gabardine fabric;
  • hoops;
  • needle with large eye;
  • scissors;
  • lighter.

Making petals.

Cut the tape to 6-8 cm length, I cut to a palm wide (4 fingers).

The number of petals depends on how lush you want to make a flower.

Once cut into strips, begin to form petals.

Mark the middle of a strip, to the middle of it, thus forming 2 ends.

Have a wide tape cut corners and round off the other end of the tape, and make a few notches.

Then we begin to fire.

Hold the lighter at 4-5 cm distance, fire carefully not to burn the ribbon.

After making the petals, begin to embroider.

Make the middle with a few chain stitches with 1.2 cm ribbon.

Then, inserted a needle into the prepared petals and threading them through the fabric one by one.

You can see the whole process of embroidery and making petals in this video. Enjoy!
