It all started with one ribbon rose. I happened upon a wonderful YouTube video a couple of weeks ago which showed how to make rolled ribbon roses. I decided to give it a try and quickly turned into a ribbon roses making junkie. First I made my daughter, Angela, a Mother’s Day Corsage with a few ribbon roses. It turned out so well that I decided to make them for my other two other daughters Rachael and Catherine. Then I decided I should probably make one for my Daughter-In-Law, Chrishelle, and also for her mother Debbie. My grandson liked them so much that he asked me to make one for his girlfriend.
So, here we are two weeks later and I have made all of these Mother’s Day corsages. Once I learned how to make a basic rose, it was simple to construct the corsages using ribbon and in some cases a felt base. Some of the flowers, I embellished with beads. I made a couple that you pin on, and the others are wrist corsages that get tied on with ribbon. I think they all turned our really pretty.
This was the first wrist corsage that I made. My daughter, Angela, fell in love with this polka dot ribbon.
This pink corsage is for my Daughter Rachel. It’s a bit smaller than the others, because she is so petite.
I made my Daughter-in-Law this corsage with classic red roses. It’s one that gets pinned on.
Chrishelle’s mother Debbie should enjoy wearing these yellow roses to church on Sunday.
My daughter, Catherine, is a bit of a tom boy – so I made her roses from a pair of old denim jeans. This turned out to be one of my favorites.
I tried something a little different with this Victorian wrist cuff. I am in love with the ribbon I used for these flowers – it’s like crepe paper. Unfortunately, the craft store only had one spool of it. Making more of these wrist cuffs will probably be my next project.
I made this short video to show just how simple it is to make these roses, although the video linked at the top of this post gives a much better how-to demonstration. So what do you think? Do you know anyone who would enjoy one of these ribbon rose corsages for Mother’s Day?
Great idea. My mom is allergic to flowers so this works perfect.
These are just so pretty! I used to make ribbon roses a million years ago in art class in school but totally forgot how to make them!
So pretty! I would love to get one for a gift!
Those are beautiful! You are really talented.
What a cute idea, definitely going to pass this tutorial on to my mom.
These are beautiful!
Those are gorgeous better then a real corsage.
Those are very pretty. I haven’t worn one of those since high school.
Those are beautiful and they last forever vs a real one that you may press in a book and it falls apart over time.
I remember doing something similar as a kid – these are beautiful!
