How to make a bow for Last Call with your own hands

Handicraft techniques / Kanzashi / Kanzashi master class 11 408 1

The last bell is a good tradition of farewell to school graduates. The end of a carefree childhood, an independent, adult life lies ahead. Of course, on this day everyone wants to look beautiful, especially girls. Therefore, I propose to make a bow for Last Call with your own hands.
For this we need:

- white satin ribbon 4–5 cm wide;
- white felt;
- scrunchy;
- rhinestones;
- glue gun;
- scissors;
- white thread and needle.

1 Method.
Step 1. Cut the satin ribbon into 15 pieces (4 cm wide and 12 cm long).

Step 2. Making the first petal. Bend the ribbon in half. We also bend each half in half towards the center. Use a small stitch to secure the middle of the petal.

This is what it looks like from the front.

This is what it looks like from the back.

Step 3. Bend the petal in half. We bend the left and then the right corner to the center.

Step 4. Cut off the bumps from the bottom. Using a candle or a regular lighter, we melt the edges of the petal, thereby securing the desired shape and preventing the ribbon from unraveling. In this way we make 15 petals.

Step 5.Cut a circle out of white felt and sew a hair tie into it. This will be the base of the bow.

Step 6. Using a glue gun (you can also sew it on), glue the first row - 8 petals - to the base.

Step 7. Next, glue the second row - 5 petals.

Step 8. Then, third row - 2 petals.

Step 9. Glue a rhinestone or bead in the middle of the bow. Ready!

Method 2 is simpler and faster.
Step 1. Take a satin ribbon 5 cm wide and 1 meter long. We sew triangles with short stitches, while pulling them together, so we sew until the end of the ribbon.

Step 2. We secure the end of the ribbon with threads. We got something like petals. We sew the ends of the petals with thread along the entire length of the ribbon and tighten them.
