Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Cut several flowers from the ribbon, tulle and lace using flower shaped or circle dies.
-
Hint:
If you don’t have any dies, scissors can be used to cut freehand flowers or circles.
-
Step 2
Pull threads from a piece of ribbon leaving them attached on one side.
-
Step 3
Heat the cutout flowers and pulled threads with a heat gun. It doesn’t take much to really get them to crinkle!
Hint:
You may want to use tweezers to hold the ribbon to avoid burning your fingers!

-
Step 4
Assemble the flower by pushing a brad through the center of each piece. Start with the threads and then begin with the flowers which are smallest or crinkled/melted the most.

Voila! You have a crinkled ribbon flower to use on your next project!
