Burnt Ribbon Flowers

So apparently I am obsessed with flowers at the moment, thus explaining my second tutorial: Burnt Ribbon Flowers inspired by Carolyn's Homework, super easy, super fun! So here we go:

Supplies:
-Wide Ribbon (the ribbon I used was about 1 in)
-Lighter
-Scissors
-Needles and thread
-Sequins
-Glue gun (optional)

Step 1: Take your ribbon and cut out 3 circles in 3 different sizes.

Step 2: Take your lighter and burn the edges of your ribbon. It doesn't take long to start burning so don't hold it to the flame for too long. It may take a few practice runs to develop a technique that produces the look you want. Be careful, the ribbon becomes extremely hot so make sure you allow it to cool before moving on (it only takes a few seconds). When done, your pieces of ribbon should look something like this:

 Step 3: Like in the photo above, stack and arrange your pieces of ribbon in a way that is appealing to you. Now thread your needle and pick the center point of your "flower". Thread through the bottom end first and add your sequin(s). You can also choose to just sew your ribbon pieces together and glue on your sequins with a hot glue gun.

Step 4: Finish sewing on your sequins. Once done, I added a dab of hot glue for extra security. You are now done!

 I decided to attach mine to a bobby pin for a coworker's pesky bangs!

Enjoy! Hope to see you back soon for another adventure in crafting!
