Tea roses dazzle as a centerpiece.

Step 1: Petals

• Keep 2 yards of wired, non-wired, silk, ombré (two-tone), velvet, cross weave or solid ribbon at home
• Milliner's sharp size 10 needle
• White quilting thread or beading thread
• Sharp sewing scissors

 

Dipped corner petals look soft,
satiny and perfect on ribbon roses.

1. Fold the ribbon in half and take a few stitches at the edges.
2. Turn the ribbon inside out and keep the corners tucked in.
3. Pleat the bottom of the petal and secure it with stitches.
