| fabric flowers from ribbon for decorative purposes http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/dc_floral_tips_techniques/article/0,1793,HGTV _3423_1370939,00.html Candace is the QUEEN, no, the GODDESS of victorian ribbon work, and one of my alltime heroines. http://www.dltk-holidays.com/spring/mtissue_flower_vase.htm the simple, rough and ready kid's version. no instructions, but much inspiration http://www.lubinflowers.com/browseitems.php?offset=0 I actually have a vintage BOOK on the subject that I think I paid a buck for at one of the library culling sales. |

| I've always wondered how they did that...it is an art for sure. Thank you for the great links. |

| long ago, all the craft stores years ago used to sell packs of pre-cut fabric (polester not silk),( he-he, I still have some)along with pkgs. of stamens and leaves, then you would wire them to a stem wire and cover it all with floral tape. have not seen them in a while. The flower pieces all came preshaped. I would think you need stff or stiffened material. Seems I saw something fairly recent where they cut out the flower pieces, and then shaped them with a rounded tool over a sponge, to get the rounded shapes. will keep looking...you may be better off with sale or dollar store flowers for the time, effort and $$.. |
Here is a link that might be useful: rose tut
