• The edges of the tape are folded back by about 15 centimeters. They are stacked on top of each other crosswise. Next, the upper buttonhole is folded over. The lower tape is completely round in a circle, after which everything is returned to its original position, but with a small buttonhole.

• A tape of a different color is folded through this loop. Next, gently pull on the short end of the material with a loop and tighten the knot. It shouldn't be too tight.

• After they form another loop, it is pulled through the bend that remains. Pull up the long edge of one buttonhole and fix the other buttonhole. As a result, a part of the weaving in the form of a square will begin to emerge.

• Then the ends are aligned, while the ribbons are slightly tightened. These steps are repeated until the very end of the material.

Many other beautiful items can be made from satin ribbons. Often they are used to make lush decorations for a wedding car. For this, prepare cardboard, wide ribbons of different colors. You also need to take several skeins with thin stripes, from which flower buds will be made.

Several large blanks in the form of hearts are cut out of cardboard. They are glued together with scotch tape. After that, cardboard blanks are tightly wrapped with wide satin strips. All this is fixed with hot glue.

Next, take narrow ribbons. They form flower buds for decoration. It is necessary to make such a number of blanks so that they can completely cover the made heart.

To make flowers, you need to take a meter-long piece of material. Its edges are treated with fire. Then a sweeping seam is made along one long edge of the strip, pulling on both ends of the thread. As a result, the ribbon turns into a neat rose.

The thread will need to be tied tightly, but you do not need to cut it off, as it will serve as an attachment to the heart.

In addition, beautiful hairpins can be made from such a satin material. Let's consider the simplest option. First, you need to prepare the following things:

• glue gun;
• scissors;
• candle or lighter;
• satin squares of white (16 pieces) and pink (8 pieces) color with a side of 5 centimeters;
• threads;
• needle;
• circle of felt with a diameter of 2 centimeters;
• an elastic hair band or a click-clack clip;

The edges of the workpieces are processed with fire. Next, a prepared white square is taken, it is bent in half, forming a triangle. The ends of the resulting part are glued together, the result is an oblong kanzashi flower petal.

After that, the lower part of the element is cut by about 5 mm. The white petal for the upper tier is ready. In total, you need to make 8 such products with your own hands.

Then, to form the lower tier, the remaining white and all pink squares are folded in half. Pink elements are placed neatly over white ones. In this case, you need to slightly displace the upper part.

As a result, you get isosceles triangles, in which you need to glue two opposite corners. Later, the lower part of the petal is cut off with scissors. The resulting petals can be firmly fixed between themselves with a thread and a needle. In this case, all parts should be located in a circle.

From a white tape, you can separately assemble another level in the same way, it should be slightly smaller in size. It is glued on top.

When the flower is collected, you can prepare a hairpin and a felt circle. A strip is made in the circle, slightly displaced from the center. At the same time, the hairpin is unbuttoned, the resulting tongue is threaded into the crack.

Next, on top of the finished flower, you can glue beautiful sparkling beads or any other suitable decor. A piece of felt with a hair clip is glued below. The result is a beautiful hair accessory. You can fix the finished bud on a wide elastic band, such products are used for a beam.

Satin stripes are perfect for making beautiful decorative bows. In this case, you need to take a part 3 cm wide and 6 cm long and a part 1 cm wide and 1.5 cm long. The threads along the edges are processed with a lighter or candle.

They begin to form a bow from the material; for this, a wider strip is bent in half, so the middle is formed. It is placed face down.

The base of the bow is fixed with small stitches, the working thread is fixed. To make the product more magnificent, it is better to tighten the thread tighter.

Now a narrow satin strip is applied to the seam. This will hide it and highlight the center section. Later, the protruding threads are neatly hidden on the back side. The finished bow is attached with glue to a pin. Such an ornament is suitable for decorating bags, clothes.
