I saw this cute flower ring on Studio 5 and had to try it out!
This flower is just made out of ribbon. First, you cut circles out of ribbon in varying sizes. Don't worry they don't have to be perfectly round as you can see. :) I just searched around my craft room and kitchen to find a variety of circle sizes to trace onto the ribbon. You can use all different colors, and monotone or do a pattern.
This is the fun part...You are actually going to burn the edges of the circle using a candle or a lighter. I prefer the candle because you can use both hands to guide the ribbon where you want it to go.
It only takes a second for the edge to curl in the flame, then turn the circle until the whole circle curls upward.
After you get a lot of pieces done you can arrange the circles together to make a flower.
I figured out an easy way to arrange all the circles and keep them together, making the process much easier...a pin. Just stick a pin through the center of each circle and they are so much easier to arrange.
Here is the flower with a brad to hold it all together. You can also sew the pieces together with embroidery thread, add a button, beads, or any other embellishment that you can sew on. These are so cute as rings, on headbands, as hair pieces, or add them to your bag or sweater, there are so many possibilites!
Like I said I got this great idea from Studio 5. Here is the link to the video.

I would love to hear your thoughts, comments, or questions...
