Ribbon embroidery workshop: bouquet with a yellow tulip

Send

This embroidery looks charming, and even a beginner will cope with it. A step-by-step master class will help.

Even if you never embroidered with ribbons, you will probably be able to perform this composition with a yellow tulip. In this workshop, detailed explanations and photographs show each step. This picture is embroidered, including handmade ribbons. How to make and color tapes, read here. Do-it-yourself ribbons give a vibrant, very beautiful result when embroidering flowers. But you can, of course, use the ready-made ones (here they are also used together with home-made ones).

- needle for embroidery floss;

- scissors.

Embroidery ribbons for beginners: miniature with a flower

Step 1

Before work, you can make a sketch - on paper to check it, or mark with a vanishing marker on the fabric. And you can improvise and work without a sketch.

Hoop the fabric.First, embroider a tulip. Thread the yellow ribbon into the needle. If the tape is wide, as in our case, its end can not be fixed with a knot, but it can also be fixed. Leave the knot or end of the ribbon (about 1–2 cm) from the inside and pull the needle and ribbon onto the face of the fabric. There will be a bottom of the bud. Determine the size of the flower and where you plan its top, withdraw the needle and ribbon on the wrong side. Pull the tape, but do not overtighten, let a small volume remain.

Similarly, make a second petal next to it. Correct the ribbon on the petals so that it lies the way you like.

Make the third petal. In order for the flower to look more voluminous and livelier, make the third petal a little longer than the first two. Start it a little lower than the first and finish over it. Plus - leave the tape a little looser.

If you wish, you can make a fourth petal, but a three-petal tulip from a wide ribbon looks good!

Step 2

Embroider a few stalks, for example, three, as in our example. Let one of them move away from the tulip flower, and the rest will be supplemented later with other flowers.

Step 3

We embroider leaves with green ribbons. Each sheet is embroidered as follows. Bring the needle and ribbon to the front side. Determine the desired length of the leaf, straighten the tape onto the fabric and pierce the fabric and tape with the needle so that the needle fits approximately in the middle of the tape (see photo above). Pull the needle down gently and slowly so that homemade silk ribbons do not cling.

Tighten the tape, but do not tighten it so that the volume remains at the top of the leaflet.Make as many leaves as you see fit.

Step 4

We complement the composition with a few small pink flower buds. We embroider them with a narrow ribbon, at its end it is better to make a knot and leave it from the inside.

Withdraw the needle and tape to your face and make a puncture down next to the first puncture. Tighten the tape, but not very tight so that a small volumetric bud remains from the face. The buds can be made round or slightly elongated.

Add as many as you want. On the wrong side, fasten the narrow ribbon by threading it with a needle into the ponytail in front of the bundle, or in the wrong stitches of thread.

Done.
