- Roll the beginning of the tape with a roll in 2-3 turns, forming a core. Glue it from below (stitch it).
- Form the petals by again bending the tape obliquely to the outside and wrapping the core of the flower, fixing it with glue from below.
- Wrap the petals in layers, bending the fabric to the outside, remembering to fix each new layer at the base of the bud.
- When the rose is the correct size, press the edge of the tape to the base and glue.
There is another option. Weave a ribbon from two wavy intertwined ribbons. Sweep it along the edge so that the flower does not disintegrate, and pull it off. It turns out a rose.
To form an aster, you need to sew the tape along the entire width with zigzag basting stitches. Shrink, fold.
