Ribbon Rosette Tutorial

1. Vintage style is all the rage in paper crafting and fashion. Rich textures, layers, and details are the elements of vintage style. Ribbon is very often featured, too. With this tutorial you will be able to add rich texture and detail to your vintage projects by creating beautiful ribbon rosettes!

2. Create a circle as your base for the ribbon rosette. Circle punches are great options that allow you to create ribbon rosettes in a variety of sizes. Cover the circular base with strips of Sticky Strip.

This sample uses the circular center of a stamped image as the base.

3. Ribbons that are soft, like 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon or 3/8” Taffeta Ribbon, work best for this technique.

For a ribbon rosette that is about 1” – 1-1/4” you will need about 16” – 18” of ribbon.

Gather one end of the ribbon together and adhere it at the center of the Sticky Strip circle. Twirl the ribbon and then begin wrapping it in a spiral.

4. Continue to twirl the length of ribbon as you wrap it around the center in a spiral pattern and adhere it to the Sticky Strip.

TIP: Try to keep the amount of twirl fairly consistent, but don’t worry if it isn’t perfect. A bit of variety in the twirl texture creates a better looking ribbon rosette.

5. As you get to the edge of the circle or Sticky Strip you will need to trim off any excess ribbon.

6. Twirl the end of the ribbon and tuck it under the edge of the ribbon rosette and use the Sticky Strip to hold the end under. If needed, add a Mini Glue Dot or a bit of Multipurpose Liquid Glue to hold the end in place.

Try creating a variety of ribbon Rosettes in different colors and sizes for cards, scrapbook pages, and boxes. Also add them to décor items like lamp shades and photo frames for a custom look you will love!

2. Randomly stamp swirl image from Everything Eleanor stamp set onto 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” Very Vanilla card stock with Basic Black ink. Begin stamping in the center, then rotate the stamp 1/4 turn as you stamp around the edge to get a random pattern with a bit of open space.

3. Stamp large and small floral images with Basic Black ink in the open spaces between the swirls to complete the stamped background pattern.

4. Follow the cutting instructions on the Half Sheet Wonder Template in the Templates section to create the Half Sheet Wonder pieces that will be used on the box and cards in this project.

9. Color the two flower images using the Melon Mambo ink pad and a Blender Pen.
