Over the years, the popularity of rose ribbon embroidery is only growing, because making a composition using ribbons is not difficult. Even a child can handle this kind of work, but the end result looks amazing.
The most common pattern for ribbon embroidery is flowers, especially roses. If you have long wanted to learn embroidery, then you should watch several master classes or use the instructions, after which you will definitely be able to create your own unique pattern.
Ribbon embroidery as a hobby is not in vain loved by embroiderers - gorgeous scarlet roses embroidered on black fabric look simply mesmerizing! To understand step by step how tape masterpieces are created, read MK and watch the video tutorials at the end of the article.
Thanks to such a composition, you can improve not only your home interior - pillows, napkins, bedspreads - but also give a new look to your wardrobe items.
To embroider a rose ribbons, you will need to prepare all the necessary materials in advance.
If you don't want to bother and take on complex embroidery whole flowers, then use a simpler option, which is intended for beginners in this matter. To do this, you just need to twist a certain number of roses and buds from ribbons of different colors, stitch them and lightly burn them with fire on the underside.
If you are unable to create Beautiful flower, then look at the photos or sequential instructions and repeat in order. Next, from a wide ribbon, using sharp scissors, make a couple of leaves and trim their edges with a lighter.
Having presented the finished picture, arrange all the parts of the bouquet in the desired sequence and sew them to the fabric. To make the picture even more beautiful, you can decorate it light loops or knots.
Before starting work, you need to create a knot on the tape that will secure it tightly to the fabric and prevent it from coming undone during work.
How embroider rose? First, thread the end of the thread into the needle, and on the opposite side, bend the end and thread the needle through this area. Be careful, if the needle has a thick end, it can ruin the thin satin fabric.
Next, let’s look at ribbon embroidery roses and bud. You can create a simple rose using satin ribbons, even if you have never tried yourself in this activity. Take the ribbon and twist a rose bud at the end, which will be the middle of the flower. To prevent the ribbon from unraveling, sew the flower from the bottom and sew it to the fabric itself. After the bud is fixed, the main part of the work and the creation of the real flower will begin.
To create a large and lush rose, choose a ribbon two meters long, and for a small flower, a small piece of fabric will be enough. Thread the ribbon through the eye of the needle and begin to make turns around the resulting bud, while creating small stitches.
Make sure that the outer side of the tape is always on top, otherwise the resulting composition will not be so attractive in appearance.
After practice, try making a rose from wide ribbons - it will make the flower more voluminous and improve the picture. Perhaps the perfect rose will not turn out soon - the ribbon will twist, lie unattractively, or the flower will turn out to be of the wrong shape the first time.
There is no need to be upset - a little practice and everything will go as usual. To help flower sit nicely on the fabric, try to stitch it again with thread; or watch some tutorials to understand how to work with unruly fabric.
Your flower will also need stem And leaves. Leaves are made using two stitches of satin ribbons or one stitch if the ribbon is wide; Sepals are created in the same way.
To embroider a flower stem, you need twist a narrow ribbon and sew it in the form of a thin sausage. To create a complete composition and additional decoration, you can sew several buds on the sides, make grass using green threads, or decorate the flowers with beads.
From the first time you may not understand what your painting will look like, and viewing photographs or master classes will help you figure it out.
So, the more loops you have, the more magnificent the rose itself will be. The petals should be sewn as tightly as possible. Next, the remaining parts of the flower are embroidered, which need to be placed on the surface of the fabric.
When working, some rose flowers should be kept small and not supplemented with large, lush petals. This will give the work a special flavor; You can also sew translucent beads to the picture.
This method can be safely used by beginners. The flowers are fully embroidered onto the fabric, which means there is no need to twist the ribbons into the middle. First you need to secure the thread to the material and from this place create five stitches that are similar to each other.
The shape and volume of your flower will depend on the length of the stitches. Then pull the ribbon to the main side towards the rose and begin to move it in a circle, alternating circles under and above the stitches.
Remember not to tighten the stitches, otherwise the flower will look too compressed. When working, you can immediately take the ribbon, but, most importantly, work carefully so that your embroidery does not simply damage the material. The rose obtained in this way will look more beautiful and more voluminous than the flower created using the previous option.
Seamstresses who have significant experience in embroidery, when creating their works from satin ribbons, use a large number of patterns and blanks, which, like stencil, are transferred from paper to fabric, and then used as an embroidery outline.
Embroidery with roses for inspiration
ROSE EMBROIDERY MASTER CLASS
Roses are embroidered using satin stitch, cross stitch, woven from beads and, of course, made from ribbons that look so much like delicate petals. This is what we will do now.
PICKED ROSETS
A fairly simple craft that is made using the technique of gathering with thread or wire tape. For such a rose, ribbons of any length and width are suitable. To begin with, you can take a four-centimeter wide ribbon and practice so that you are fully equipped to make a flower. By combining several beautiful multi-colored roses, adding leaves and other decorations, you can quickly make a brooch or hair clip.
You can start with a wire tape four centimeters wide, and from 46 to 60 in length. You can make a rose by gathering on a wire or using a U-shaped stitch. To make a smaller rose, for example, on a brooch, you need to take a smaller wire ribbon (the width remains the same - four centimeters, and the length should be 20-25 centimeters).
ROSES FROM WIRE TAPE WITH YOUR HANDS
U-shaped gathering
If you want the rose to look different, when twisting the ribbon, its top edge must be folded downwards.
BUDS FROM Ribbons
Small pink and flat buds are made from ribbons 1.5-2 cm wide and 5 cm long. Well suited for a flat composition. For the cup, you need to take a green ribbon 2.5-6 cm. For such small buds, leftover ribbons are good.
FOLDED ROSES FROM SATIN Ribbons
This technique is used to quickly make roses. Folding is a rather difficult technique to master, but it is the fastest. Once you've learned how to fold your ribbon the way you want, you'll want to fold any ribbon you see.
You can practice on a tape four centimeters wide and from 30 to 50 centimeters long. Sometimes, you can simply fold the ribbon and cut it to the desired size of the rose.
It must be remembered that the edges of the rose should be at the same level so that the center does not protrude forward.
You need to pay attention to the shape of the petals. As a rule, the edges of roses are not processed according to the folds, so they look unnatural and uninteresting. To make the rose more natural, you can process the edges accordingly: pinch here and there or turn the ribbon in the desired direction, the rose will become like a living one.
Master class from Nataliya k
For work you will need: Satin ribbon of pink and green colors, 1.5 cm wide (about 2 meters each), canvas (burlap or other fabric - I don’t recommend starting with thick fabrics, because it’s more difficult to pull a needle and ribbon through thick fabric) ,
threads to match the ribbons (floss), a special needle for embroidery with chenille ribbons - a thick needle with a large eye and a sharp tip.
This needle is good for embroidering on fabrics with fine weaving: silk, organza), or a “tapestry” (“knitted”) needle - with a large eye and a blunt tip - it is more convenient to embroider on canvas, burlap, knitwear.
For the rose, lay 5 frame threads radiating from the center, taking into account the diameter of the rose (in this case, the beam is 2 cm).
Bring the tape to the front side and begin to twist the carcass threads, passing the tape above and then under the carcass thread. Make sure that the tape lies with the front side up.
Lay the tape loosely without tightening it.
Our rose is ready
Now let's make several rosebuds with loops attached
Embroider the leaves around the buds with long stitches with curls (holding the ribbon with the front side up, bending the ribbon to the wrong side, in the opposite direction, make a puncture with a needle from above vertically in the middle of the ribbon according to a certain stitch length. You get an acute angle with symmetrical curls of the edges in the middle of the ribbon
Embroider the rose leaves with loops with attachments (like buds). Sew on twisted ribbons for the stems using hand stitches. Our roses are ready. All that remains is to design the composition. Good luck!
Regarding securing the “tails” from the wrong side, as a rule, I simply hem them discreetly with a regular needle and thread.
Roses. A master class for beginners concerning this particular flower will be discussed in this article. Using flowers embroidered with ribbons, you can easily give new life to an old bag or blouse that was accidentally stained.
Roses are loved by many, which means they are versatile and perfect not only for decorating clothes or interior items, but they can also be used when creating cards or in gift wrapping. Learning to create such beauty is not at all difficult. All that is required from you is a lot of desire and a little patience. And, of course, several tapes.
So that embroidery with rose ribbons can be easily learned step by step, you should select the necessary materials and tools. In general, you can use absolutely any fabric for embroidery, but for training, choose canvas or burlap.
A needle for ribbon embroidery should have a large eye and a sharp tip. Of course, if you embroider on canvas, you can use a tool with a blunt tip. But this option is only suitable for canvas. The ribbon you choose can be of any width. But still, a width of one and a half or two centimeters is considered the most suitable. In this case, embroidering roses with satin ribbons is considered the most correct. Also in some cases you will need embroidery thread. To make your work look neat, select a thread that matches the color characteristics of the ribbon as closely as possible. And don’t forget about a hoop for stretching the fabric and scissors.
If you still think that embroidering with ribbons is difficult, but you really want to make such a product, there is another option for you. It is simpler compared to embroidery. It's like false embroidery with rose ribbons. A master class for beginners in this version will explain how to fold roses from satin ribbons.
You need to take the ribbon, determine its center and bend it at this place at an angle of ninety degrees. Then alternately turn the edges towards each other, and at the end pull one of them and secure the flower with threads. To do this, simply stitch it right through. Once you have collected the required number of specimens, these flowers can simply be placed on the product and sewn on. Then you can complement the overall picture with simple ribbon knots and embroidered stems.
Before embroidering roses with ribbons, the master class for beginners suggests learning some important points. First of all, you should create a neat knot on the ribbon. It should be large enough to securely fasten the tape. It should not jump out at the most inopportune moment, so that the entire embroidery with rose ribbons is not spoiled. Schemes are rarely used in this work, but it is still worth making some markings. Marking will allow you not to disturb the correct proportions in your composition. You will see where a flower or other element is needed, and also imagine its size.
So, to make a fastening knot, you just need to fold the edge of the tape twice and stitch it. Now your tape will definitely not slip out of your work. The main thing is to try to make it look neat from the wrong side of the product.
Even the most experienced craftswomen use diagrams when creating large works. This allows you to better navigate the picture and not miss the size of the flower. If you have a ready-made pattern, embroidering will be much easier.
You can prepare templates of the plot you like for repeated use. In this type of needlework, one and the same option can be modified in such a way that no one will guess. You just need to change the color or size of the ribbon or add beads to the work. To create a pattern like this, sketch it out on thick cardboard and then use a thick needle to create holes where you want the stitches to be. Using a pencil, transfer the dots onto the fabric and begin embroidering.
In this section we will look at embroidering roses with ribbons step by step. To begin, take a ribbon and twist it into a small bud. This will be the center of your future flower. So that there is no chance of it falling apart, sew it and attach it to the canvas.
After the bud is secured, take a piece of tape about two meters long and begin to form the flower. This length is enough for a fairly lush rose, and if you want a smaller flower, then you need less ribbon. When creating small stitches, place them around the bud so that the shiny side of the ribbon always remains on top. This will add brightness to your painting. Try also experimenting with ribbons of greater width, then you will get larger and more expressive roses.
You are deeply mistaken if you expect the tape to immediately lie the way you want it. Not at all. At first, it may twist in the wrong direction or bulge in the most unpredictable places. And in this case, only patience and training can be your helpers. Examine the critical points of your flower and, armed with thread to match the ribbon, simply boldly hem the petals where you consider it necessary. With this action you will certainly be able to “arrange” your rose as required by the plot.
You need to use your imagination a little more and work a little to get the finished ribbon embroidery. A bouquet of roses should be supplemented with small buds. And also don’t forget about the leaves and stems.
To make the stems, you need to either sew them with a thin green ribbon using thread or twist the ribbon and sew it to the surface of the fabric using thread. The leaves are made with a wide ribbon in one stitch or a narrow ribbon in two stitches. To make the plot complete, sew on beads to imitate dew on the petals, or add some other sewing elements. A basket or vase in which you can place your bouquet will add originality and complexity to the composition.
First, using a lighter shade of ribbon, sew the basket with horizontal stitches. Then twist the second (darker) tape into a rope and sew in a vertical direction so that the new stitches form a checkerboard pattern with the previous ones.
Now we need to create a handle. First, sew small stitches of the same color along the contour, and then take a longer piece of another ribbon and go through each stitch, performing twisting movements. You can make a basket from ribbons of different colors. The main thing is not to tighten the tapes under any circumstances, so that the basket does not turn out flat.
Another interesting and simple method can be done by embroidering roses with ribbons. A master class for beginners using threads is ideal for those who are experiencing embroidery for the first time. In this option, you do not need to twist the inner bud separately. You should secure the thread on the fabric in a certain place and from this point make five stitches in different directions.
In general, the picture should resemble a star, and all stitches should be the same in length. The degree of splendor of the rose will depend on the length of the thread stitch. Bring the ribbon out at the point where the stitches came out and begin laying it in a circle. At the same time, in order of rotation, pass the tape over or under the thread. The flower should not be tightened. Instead of thread, you can use a thin ribbon. The flower should be quite lush and voluminous.
In order to get a finally completed ribbon embroidery of roses, paintings or other products with it, you need to finalize them. If this is a painting, then it should be taken to the workshop and a frame selected for it.
And if this is a piece of clothing or an interior item, then this product needs to be finished. If you are going to place a picture under glass, then you should use special frames that will allow you to preserve the volume of the picture.
Items with embroidery can quickly become dirty; they should be washed or even dry cleaned. But such products should be washed by hand and under no circumstances should they be wrung out or rubbed. Otherwise, the drawing may be significantly deformed.
Items on which the tapes have been tinted cannot be washed.
This rose will be flatter than traditionally embroidered roses.

The most popular type of decoration are roses. They look great on clothes and bags. Hand-made paintings are gaining immense popularity among different ages. This type of creativity opens up the ability to fantasize in both children and adults. You can also experiment, learn and discover new possibilities. If desired, you can choose any color scheme.
On many websites, masters share their impressions, tips, and secrets. Using their experience, we will avoid our own simple mistakes. First you will need a template, a satin ribbon of the required length, and accessories in sets. Dear needlewomen, this step-by-step master class will teach you how to embroider with straight stitches. They come in two types - straight and lateral. Most often, craftswomen choose tones such as cream, yellow, orange, burgundy, soft pink, and sometimes red and white. Embroidery of roses with ribbons and the whole design of the still life depends on your imagination.
Accessories and materials for embroidery
To begin with, you can use any fabric, color too. For beginners, it is better to take canvas as it is easier to learn. In the future, you can choose a base of better quality so that the composition can decorate your interior or a gift that could pleasantly surprise others. It is necessary to thread it into the stretch, into the hoop. They can be rectangular or round. We embroider a rose from satin ribbon.
This activity is quite simple, the main thing is to have patience. And things that, in your opinion, have outlived their usefulness can be decorated in the same way as in the picture.
You will find one example for beginners in our section. Schemes for creating a future painting can be found on the Internet. Photos of finished products amaze with their magnificence.
Embroidering roses in two steps. First, the twisted middle is made, and then the outer petals are embroidered. The tip must be threaded into the needle, and then carefully rolled into a roll. The bud of the future flower must be periodically stitched so that it does not fall apart. For this work, use red.
The next stage is fixing the bud and creating voluminous petals around it.
The number of petals affects the splendor of the flower. The more there are, the larger the rose will be.
For the twisted middle, you need a ribbon 2.5 cm wide, and you will also need a needle and thread in the same color. We cut off a small amount, about 1 m, bend the tip - 3 centimeters with our right hand at a right angle (it doesn’t matter which side you start from - front or back), it will still spin. Then we bend it again, then put the fingers of the left hand - the index finger lies on the top edge, and the thumb under the bottom.
We bend the top edge under the bottom, pull out the thumb, and a small triangle is formed. Now with our right hand we tightly twist it towards ourselves three times, aligning it along the top edge.
We stitch the center of the inflorescence with a needle and thread, all the turns. And so we twist it to the end of this geometric figure, which was formed on the left side when bending, that is, we turned it - we stitched it. The first one always twists tightly. As soon as you secured the tape to the end with a needle, you again placed your fingers correctly - the index finger on the top edge, and the thumb under it. Bend the next triangle. And now you need to twist it more freely, the petals seem to deviate from each other. We repeat the same process of twisting and stitching with each turn. The new thread is fixed with a needle, turned again and stitched.
We lay the next one even more freely. A properly laid out ribbon is guaranteed to become an elegant creation. When many layers are wound, you can no longer pierce this bud with a needle, but only pick up a new turn to the bottom one. We twist the bud so that the diameter of the rose becomes 25 millimeters.
Detailed video lesson for needlewomen. Just five minutes and the rose is ready.
There was a small tip left where the first bend was. This is where the process needs to begin. We use an awl to pierce a hole in the middle of the fabric base. We insert the tail of our flower and send the needle and thread there on the wrong side.
From the wrong side, you need to pull the tip so that the rose fits tightly to the canvas. We secure it with thread and then cut off the excess along with the thread.
Now we thread our ribbon into a large needle with a wide eye. If you look at the bud from above, which is embroidered and inserted into the canvas, it will become clear in what order the petals need to be twisted and stitched, that is, twisted in a circle.
We twist the ribbon into a soft fold and pierce it under the petals. From the wrong side we retreat 2 millimeters, bring the needle to the front side of the fabric, and again create a soft fold. We repeat the puncture under the coils of the flower and make sure that everything is tightly and neatly laid out. There should be no visible gaps between those already stitched. You need to be careful when installing. Try to make them look nice, turn the twists as you like, the tape should fit as it should.
Next, after two petals, the third turn needs to be sewn differently. We advise you to pay attention to the jumpers that were created when piercing the main working material (there is a distance of 2 mm between them). They need to be covered with the third petal.
This means that we move 1.5 cm to the right from the jumper. We twist the ribbon into a soft fold and pierce it. We sew the fourth petal further, retreating from it by 2 mm. Thus we lay them in a circle. We form the fifth turn of the rose, not forgetting to overlap the jumpers. Correct, tighten and lay them right away, then it will be difficult to do this. And we make sure that the level is the same. In this sequence, step by step, we sew eight blanks.
As soon as we reach the stage where they are all long, we apply our new technique. We need to pierce not 2 mm forward, but take a step back by about 1 centimeter. We determine the length ourselves and insert the needle accordingly. We form the coil correctly so that it lays beautifully, and again we pierce it 10 millimeters back - the tenth. Our flower consists of approximately 11-12 turns. We determine the length visually. The size of the bud should already look rounded, lush and wide. At the last stage, when finishing stitching, be sure to pull it up, straighten all the petals you embroidered, and make a knot on the wrong side. The flower is ready.
If you are already interested, then be patient and work hard to get a good result. Then you will gain victory and become the author of your own composition.
It's easiest to start with thin ribbons, since this is the most. They can be purchased at any specialty store. They have special requirements: they should not get tangled or twisted when working with them. The loops should pass freely through the material. Give preference to goods made of silk or satin. This material shimmers spectacularly in the light and the work has an unsurpassed appearance. Multi-colored satin ribbons (white, yellow and green) 1 m long, 0.5 cm wide
We will work closely. If you are a beginner, then to get an even and smooth drawing it is better to use a canvas.
When choosing them, give preference to larger sizes so that the entire picture fits in them. When the canvas is tightly stretched, then it will be easier.
Cotton threads are best because they do not fade and will not lose color. Purchase high-quality floss or iris threads in different colors to create a composition. You will use them to supplement the main details.
They should have large ears, since we will need to thread a wide ribbon. For example, tapestry needles with a number from 16-18 are used if the size of the tape is 1 cm. But a needle with a number from 18-22 works with a ribbon having a width of 7, 9, 12 cm. Number 24 is used to work with 3 mm. You will also need to purchase a standard needle for regular sewing.
Be sure to purchase sharp small scissors, as large ones are only needed for cutting.
To begin, prepare a ribbon so that one edge is cut at an angle of 90 degrees and scorched with fire, and the second end is cut obliquely - this is what needs to be inserted into the eye:
It is important to learn how to pin. One of the edges, cut at a right angle, needs to be folded by about 3 mm and then, piercing it, you get a knot:
If everything works out, you can start creating. All information and diagrams can be found on the Internet or picked up in a store. Ready-made ideas from professionals will be a godsend for beginners.
The path to a masterpiece always begins with basic knowledge. Throwing simple loops, knots, and cobwebs is the basis of the most complex technique. For example:
cobweb
Take a separate piece of fabric and practice securing it and making straight stitches:
I would like to mention the “Japanese stitch” method. There is some similarity here with a straight seam. Its peculiarity is that it passes through itself and through the fabric. First you need to pierce the tape itself, and only then the base. In this way you can get original compositions from flowers and leaves:
japanese stitch
Experiment. Let the flowers fall on the material with voluminous airy buds, and small thin petals sparkle on the canvas with the smoothness of silk threads. Butterflies, dragonflies and bees will not only add naturalness, but also breathe life into it.
Working with a dandelion image is quite easy. Such a simple creation can become the first in your photo gallery. To draw the diagram, use a thin, discreet pencil so that the original sketch cannot be viewed on the finished work.
It is advisable to choose dark material. This will give clarity to your drawing. Fix the material tightly with a hoop and transfer the image. Its traces are faintly visible on a dark background, but this will be enough to work with the general outlines of the drawing.
If desired, you can transfer the dandelion drawing in another way: cut out a paper sketch of the flower and apply it to the fabric. This technology for transferring all the details of an object is much simpler:
2. The tape is displayed on the front side. You need to wrap it around each seam prepared in advance, that is, we pass under the straight stitches made. The method allows you to get a narrow twisted stem in the future picture:
3. Japanese stitch is used to form leaves. We pick up the bottom edge and form a straight stitch. You should get a pointed leaf:
4. We begin to create the seed umbrellas of our dandelion. We embroider with white according to the principle of the stem, and it is better to display the white hairs with ordinary sewing thread.
5. We embroider the second dandelion, which has already bloomed, in yellow and use the Japanese stitch, around the flower:
6. And at the end of our creation process, the last element remains - the jagged leaf. Tip: you can cut out a leaf from a wide ribbon yourself and sew it on, or you don’t have to cut it out. For example, from a narrow green ribbon we make a straight long stitch from the stem twice, so that between them there is, as it were, a leaf vein. Then, using a dark green thread, we will create a natural look for these veins:
Use your imagination, change the size of the stitches, try to achieve accuracy in your work and not clutter it with unnecessary seams:
Decorate the finished product with beads. This way you will add originality and originality to your creation. Imagine!
