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?
I LOVE this idea. I hate cutting flowers so that they just die a few days later. This is fantastic!
What a lovely idea!
Those are quite lovely.
Very creative! My mom would love something like this!
Very cute! Thanks for sharing.
I can’t even believe how great they came out. So many options with colors, fabrics and textures too!
Those are really beautiful!
great job and so creative too
That is so sweet!
These are very attractive. I remember making ribbon roses a long time ago and would enjoy refreshing my memory. Everyone I know would love getting one of these roses.
