Let's figure out how you can make a wedding bouquet with your own hands from iridescent ribbons.

1. First you need to choose a base for the craft. A spherical element made of foam or newspaper, assembled in a com, will do. You can also use the foam-coated CD for mounting. Such a base will turn out to be quite convenient, since it has a hole through which it will be very easy to pass satin pieces or wire to fix the base.
2. You will also need to form a leg. A simple cardboard tube is suitable for modeling it. It is not recommended to make a leg from a metal or wooden part, since these elements will turn out to be unnecessarily heavy and uncomfortable, you cannot walk around with them all day.
3. You will need to choose the appropriate shades of satin ribbons. The bouquet can be colored, dyed white, turquoise, blue or red. Combinations of colors such as white and blue are allowed.
4. When making a wedding bouquet, you will first need to cut the ribbon into rectangles of equal size. Their length should be 8 cm. The wider the stripes, the larger the petals made will be. So, to create one rose, about 25 blanks will be enough.
5. All sections with cuts will need to be treated with a lighter. Due to this, the craft will retain its original aesthetics for as long as possible. If the satin pieces are very short, then it is better to hold them with tweezers, and not with your fingers, during melting.
6. In each of the petals, you need to bend 2 corners, placed diagonally across the corner for the entire length of the rectangular element. After that, the details are stitched with a typewriter.
7. One of the petals will need to be carefully rolled into a tube, and then tightened with a thread at the bottom. This will create the middle of the future rose in the bouquet.
8. Next, one at a time, you need to wrap the tube with the rest of the petals. Each of them will need to be sewn as carefully as possible to the central part.

After that, the charming rose for the wedding bouquet will be ready. It can be sewn to the base, glued or fixed with a pin.

A wedding bouquet made of satin roses, for example, can be supplemented with a variety of beautiful decorations. Jewelry in the form of pearl beads fixed in the center of the flowers by means of a wire base looks very impressive and expensive. Rhinestones or decorative pendants made in a wedding theme will also serve as an interesting decoration.

The Japanese technique for shaping attractive textile colors is truly unique. In accordance with it, the petals are folded from satin stripes according to the principle of another well-known technique called origami. Further, the finished parts are assembled into attractive flower buds of a variety of sizes, shapes and colors, like a constructor.

Using the kanzashi technique, you can make very beautiful and unusual bouquets, made up of various types of plants. For example, the master will be able to create the same rose by adhering to the following step-by-step action plan.

1. It is necessary to prepare satin squares with dimensions of 5x5 cm. The blanks must be folded. It will be convenient to press and hold them with tweezers so that they do not slip out.
2. After that, an unnecessary corner is cut off, and the remaining edge is treated with a candle or a lighter, adhering to safety rules. When absolutely all the petals are completely ready (there can be 7 or more of them), you can start assembling the rose.
3. Satin blanks will need to be fixed with hot glue, placing them in checkerboard order.

By this principle, you can build a sufficient number of roses in order to further form an elegant bouquet using the kanzashi technique. The assembly of the entire composition takes place as usual: the flowers are glued to the base, after which the holder and the lower half of the arrangement are carefully closed. It remains to add just a little bit of beautiful shine using bright jewelry. After that, an elegant accessory with a Japanese flavor will be ready.

A bouquet made of satin ribbons can serve as a wonderful and creative gift for a mother for her birthday or spring holiday. Modeling this interesting presentation doesn't take a lot of free time.

To create an elegant bouquet arrangement for mom with your own hands, you will need:

• ready-made flowers from satin ribbons;
• floristic type wire;
• special tape tape;
• thin white satin ribbon;
• artificial pearls;
• tulle;
• glue gun;

Let's analyze a detailed master class on modeling a beautiful bouquet.

• Flowers made of satin ribbons are fixed on a rigid floral wire D1-1.2 mm. The end of the ribbon, which remains free, will need to be wrapped around an impromptu stalk, and then fixed with hot melt glue.

• Next, the flower leg will need to be decorated with snow-white thin braid. Each of the turns must be overlapped so that there are no gaps. At several points it will be necessary to fix the winding with the same hot melt glue.

• In a similar way, you will need to prepare 11 flowers. They can be made both in the same and in different color palettes.

• After that, you can start assembling a beautiful rounded bouquet in accordance with the spiral technique. This means that all the stems will need to be superimposed on each other at a certain angle, as if twisting.

• The composition will need to be fastened with a tape. After that, the formed handle will need to add thickness. It will be possible to level the surface of the part with the help of multi-colored ribbons.

• Imitation pearls on special hairpins will allow you to very effectively disguise the lower half of the bouquet holder. In the upper half it can be decorated with tulle.

• The "skirt" should be sewn very carefully. The stitches can be closed with beads.

A beautiful and original gift bouquet for mom is ready! You can decorate it in any other way that the master chooses.

There are many other interesting ideas for creating creative bouquets from satin ribbons. Different accessory options are suitable for different occasions. For example, such things can be made on September 1 instead of fresh flowers. In addition, beautiful satin bouquets with chocolates on skewers are very interesting. You can make unusual flower arrangements with your own hands, laid out in a neat basket.

A bouquet made of satin flowers of a complicated shape can boast of a bizarre and very catchy appearance. To make such an interesting accessory, you need to use the following instructions.

1. First, you need to prepare 4 satin petals, the length of which will be 5 cm. One edge of each element will need to be bent at an angle of 45 degrees.
2. The elements will need to be heated and fixed with tweezers. Similar procedures will need to be carried out with respect to the other side of the blanks. This will form candy-rhombuses. With such a mini-bouquet it will be possible to effectively decorate a casket, a gift box, or supplement a postcard.
3. You will also need to form the middle and outer petals, as well as the leaves. For this, 4 blanks with a length of 5 cm are each folded on both sides, and then sewn with threads. Due to this, it will be possible to form a small assembly along the seam. The resulting petals will be medium. In the same way, you should make the outer petals from segments with a length of 7 cm. There should be only 8 of them.
4. The leaves must be cut out with dimensions of 2.5x5 cm. The workpieces will need to be burned, to form neat bends. You will also need to form the veins of the leaves. To do this, you need to bend and heat these blanks, while squeezing them in a hot state.
5. At the next stage, you can proceed to assembling a full-fledged bouquet. To do this, the starting satin blank will need to be twisted like a tube, and then fixed with glue. You will need to fix the remaining 3 parts around to get the middle of the bud. The outer and middle leaves must be fixed around the perimeter. Thus, the blossoming component of the original flower will be formed.

When creating creative bouquets of satin stripes, there are some useful tips to keep in mind.

• For modeling any accessories, be sure to use only sharp, not blunt scissors. Tools with dull blades will prevent you from making neat and even cuts, which will negatively affect the aesthetics of the finished product.
• When making a festive bouquet, it is recommended to use only high-quality glue that does not emit too harsh and pungent odors. All elements must be fixed as securely as possible so that at the most crucial moment they do not begin to fall off from the overall composition.
• When working with atlas or other loose material, one should not forget about processing the sections with a lighter or candle. If we neglect this stage of work, then the material can simply creep at any time.
• If you are assembling a delicate bouquet for a wedding with your own hands, then you need to especially carefully select the colors of homemade flowers. So, the pastel palette looks especially harmonious in the hands of blondes, as well as against the background of celebrations in a classic or vintage style.
• If you want to make a truly original and spectacular bunch of satin white flowers, then on its surface you can place a strip of contrasting buds of an iridescent silvery shade.
• When processing the atlas, the master should not rush. It is necessary to work according to the instructions with glossy material very carefully and without unnecessary haste, so as not to harm the appearance of the finished bouquet.
• To make the flowers in the assembled bunch look more diverse and unusual, satin ribbons with different widths can be used to make them.
