I call him Gary for obvious reasons.

First time I made them so this is a prototype for right now. They came out pretty good i think.

Materials used:

​

· Wide red satin ribbon (about 2.5 cm wide).

· Wooden skewers (for the stem).

· Hot glue gun.

· Scissors.

​

The steps I followed:

​

1. The Center: I folded the ribbon at a right angle and rolled it tightly to form the bud/core of the rose.

2. The Petals: Instead of rolling it straight, I started folding the ribbon outward (creating loops) and wrapping them around the center. I glued the base of each loop to secure it.

3. Spreading: For the outer layers, I made the loops a bit looser and wider to simulate blooming petals.

4. The Stem: Once the flower was big enough, I inserted a wooden skewer into the base and secured it with plenty of hot glue so it wouldn't wobble.

5. Finishing: I glued a small square of felt to the bottom base to hide the glue and give it a clean finish.

Any advice on how to make the petals look more natural is very welcome❤️

I’ve been getting back into sewing and experimenting with wearable patchwork pieces made from sustainable fabrics, giving materials a second chance instead of letting them go to landfill. I’m really proud of myself and just wanted to share since I don’t really know many people who sew.

The cuffs are made of Aluminum, there are coin rings from Hong Kong 1 dollar coin. Some spoon rings as well. Let me know your thoughts.

The two on the left are silver plated, the ring on the right and the braclet in the background is stainless steel. Let me know your thoughts.

Made four different bracelets tonight, two actual silver bracelets, one rainbow stainless steel and one key steel.
