Making Ribbon Flowers

Making ribbon flowers, known as Ribbonwork techniques have been around for some time. They were extremely popular in the 1920's and were used to decorate hats, clothing and household items. There are a number of books out there, but the one that Connie likes a book by Helen Gibb, called Ribbonwork The Complete Guide. All of the techniques posted here were taken from Helen Gibb's book. The flowers pictured above are made by Connie MacFarlane blog  http://www.paperpleatsandribbonroses.blogspot.com/. She offers tutorials to making these beautiful flowers.
