Great tutorial! I've seen these, but never realised they were so simple to do, especially with the wider ribbon. Thanks so much for sharing your technique! Hugs, Marji

Sue that are easy. Because my machine is down I have been hand sewing and now have a hole on my finger.
140716You explained and pictured it, just wonderfully. Thank you for another fun and beautiful thing for me to maie with my granddaughter.
5186Thanks for the instructions and pictures. I tried once long ago to make these and mine looked like I had just wadded up a handful of ribbon!! Yours are so pretty,I think I will give them another try.
8227Thanks ever so much for these fab pics with intructions. Your roses are lovely.

40379Beautiful roses. Thanks for the picture instructions.
13250My Girlfriend does these a different way. She pleats as she goes, but I found them too hard to hold and pleat.
29801Thank you so much, I was wanting to make some of these roses and the box pleat ribbon cost an arm and a leg.

HotLanta GA LOL We have EVERYTHING you can imagine. which is sometimes not a good thing, if you know what I mean. My basement is crammed with junk. If one of my friends needs something odd, they call me.
1648I noticed you can buy the ribbon already pleated,may cost a bit more but a nice timesaver.

That is cheating but then all of your pleats would be the same size which you can never do if you are doing it by hand.

Marion, I think you could make some beautiful ones for a corsage with a wider ribbon. Please let us see them if you do.

I am so bad at describing something so thought the photos would explain a little easier.

299557Thanks for sharing. I saved it for futher reference. Hugs.
21222Is there anyway that I can either print off your pictures and instructions or else keep them in a file on my computer for future reference. Eileen

Yes, First make a folder where you want to put it, right click the pictures and say "save as" in that file. Highlight the writing, copy and paste also there. Hope this help, that's the way I did it.

Shirlene What a preety thank you and I second that thought, very kind Lyn to make a pictorial.
211078Very good tutorial, I thought you gathered the ribbon, this looks better. Smashing photos,great tip to use single sided satin ribbon. Thanks, Jan

I have tried the double sided satin ribbon and it slips and is too hard. The organza that I tried I unpicked it twice and then left the 3rd try. Won't make any more of these in Organza.
4131Good job... these are very pretty lyn., thanks for sharing
10333Stage 6 and Finish. This is the rose almost finished. With the tail you just fold it over the stitching on the bottom to tidy it up. I found the smaller you make your pleats the more ruffled your rose will be. You will see by the small rose. The small one is stitched with more narrow ribbon 40 - 50mm long. I made mine 45. Hope you enjoy making these as much as I do. Lyn
29801Stage 5. I have rolled the pleats and sewn them as I was rolling. Sometimes it will stay flat on the bottom. Think it is ther way you hold it but results are the same.

Shirlene - Wow! Thanks for the youtube tip. I found lots of instructions on making everything from ribbon rose buds to using box pleat trim to make the roses using just a glue gun. ... now to dig through my stash in hopes I have some of all of them to try. What fun! Thanks to you & Lyn.
211078Lyn, great description and info on how to - can you attach some photo's of the progression of it, too? Iam very visual.
