DIY: Rose from a Ribbon

Hello my sweetypies.. How have you been?
My Exams are over for now.. Yipppeeee..

Thank you all of you for your kind and generous wishes while I was gone.. I can just say I love You all :)

As a token of my Love.. I'll do a DIY post today :)

All of us know that girls are super crazyyyyyyy.. ~ Heyyy.. In a good sense.. They are crazy about things they love and can go extra miles to make their loved ones happy :)

So today, I bring to you something that can help you make your gifts personalized and your dresses & accessories look even more worth-wearing.. Cos it has a touch of you :)

HOW TO MAKE A ROSE/FLOWER USING A RIBBON

You will need :

A ribbon (I have used a satin)
A florist's tape or a wire

Google

1. Keep the dull surface of the ribbon facing upwards- You can take any length depending upon how big you want your flower to be.


2. From the end, fold it at right angle and press to form a crease.

3. Now, keep on folding from the crease till you get something like a 'cone'. Make a crease.

4. Fold more, along the ribbon ( 2-3 folds), to cover the 'cone'.
If it's your first time in something creative then you can probably seal this step with a stapler so that it doesn't open up in the middle!

5 and 6. Continue folding if you're not satisfied with the thickness of the bud!

7 and 8. This is the tricky part- Hold the bud in one hand while the rest of the ribbon in the other. Frame shift the ribbon or leave a gap between bud and ribbon. (See the picture)

9. WIth your left heand just fold the ribbon at 45 degrees on the outside.

10. This picture shows you how the fold will look from the back.

11. Turn the rose a bit and then again fold the ribbon at 45 degrees on the outside..

12. Keep turning and rotating the rose.. IF you want a bigger flower.. turn-flip-turn-flip.

If a smaller flower then turn- flip-flip- turn-flip-flip..

See pictures 13. and 14.

NOTE: you can secure the flower at any point with a stapler!

15. Secure your flower by tying the rest of the ribbon around the stem.

16. I have tied the green Florist's tape or a wire!!

And voila! You are ready to wear it over your blazer, hat, bag, necklace or even headband.. Guess what, I used it on my heels.. See the below picture.. I used 2 colors for it.. Just stitched them together :)

From ME to YOU

Heyy lovelies..

How are you doing? :)

Today, as you know, is Mr. A's Birthday. He is finally 21.. yippee... We were all decked up, ready to go to Art House in DLF Promenade but cos I got late :\ .. actually.. very late.. eeh.. so yeaa.. we couldn't go.. :(

I have a very strong reason to support it! You will find it out later in this post. So, my brilliant mind decided to go for a long drive instead. Turn our car into a restaurant :D . Took Junk food (I'm eating after 2 months. sorry tummy!), cake, little sweet drinks :P , loud music, and highway.. woah!

Firstly, I showed him the post I made AND YOUR lovely Wishes. He was so so happy guys.. Thanks a lot :) And he has asked me to say a Big THANK YOU to all of YOU :)

1. 21 reasons to celebrate your B'day

Couldn't show all. I'll show them in next post which is under construction ;)

2. Since it was our 8th month Anniversary too, I had made gifts for both the occasions <3

Five things that connect us~ Like 5 sensory organs

Vision- Painting -> This is the reason why I got late, was making it in the morning :P

P.S. The heart is attached with the paper by a spring. :D

Taste- Food..yum yum.. I made Pasta :)

Smell- Perfume- Archies He really liked the fragnance. M glad!

Touch- A hand written Diary. We would fill it on every special occasion :) Archies again.

Finally, Hearing- A mix of our favorite songs. CD cover had our pic. On his request, won't show :D . This is the back cover.

3. A picture frame of us :)

Again.. He is too shy I guess! :P But this is the other half of the frame!

4. A collage in the form of heart having snaps of him and his friends, of course me too.lol. Inside it was personal notes by his buddies. This was the best part! Unfortunately, can't show the whole, but I'll quitely show a thumbnail :P Shhhhh..

5.A love key chain. A guy and a girl kissing. He took the guy of course. I was searching for love bands, but couldn't find one!

6. Nail Art- Made balloons in 5 minutes. Didn't have time :\ Yes that's Heena. Remember I told you I attended a wedding.. hehe

 

7. A Big Birthday Card from Archies. He said he never got this big card ever in his life! haha.. hw cute is that!

And the Cake of course. He likes it simple but I'm trying to make him eat others like blackforest, butterscotch.. ummmm :D

ALL THIS IN A BASKET, with a bow. --> I always wanted to give gifts in a basket!

Unfortunately, some of the pictures collapsed. We are trying to recover them ASAP. So I will post them along with what I wore.

His surprise is STILL LEFT! He says, its a BIG ONE!!! Let's see ;)

Next post coming soon. Really soon :)

Sorry for the delay

But this is a quick sneak-peek into what I wore

So, did you like the gifts I made?

A giveaway is also on cards :)

Until then, Keep smiling. You never know who is dying to see you that way :)
