Instructions:
To make a Ribbon Rose:
1. First fold down one end of ribbon toward you to form a right angle, leaving a 2" tail.
2. Fold and roll the folded tail end toward you tightly about five times to create the rose's center.
3. Fold the ribbon away from you at a 45-degree angle.
4. Wrap the folded ribbon once around the center, loosely at the top and tightly at the base, forming a funnel shape. Gather and hold at the base.
5. To make "petals," fold the ribbon away at a 45-degree angle. Turn the rose toward the center one-quarter turn, gathering the bottom edge of the ribbon to the base. Hold to secure.
6. Continue folding and turning to make desired number of petals, making sure to leave about a 3" tail of ribbon. (NOTE: Four petals make a square pattern.)
7. Wrap the tail under the rose, hold at the stem, then wrap wire around the base several times to secure.
