1. Take your piece of ribbon, any length, but the longer the better and easier to work with for beginners.
2. Fold at a right angle at some point roughly in the middle.
3.now fold one of the ends OVER the right angle fold.
4. Now fold the other end over the first.
5. Continue to do this to the end of the ribbons, keeping a grip on the stack.
Like this.
6. Now take the end in your fingers, like this, and pull on one end, it really doesn't matter which.
7. This one didn't actually come out that great, but you basically just pull on the end until you have what resembles a flower/rose.
To finish you can either use some thin wire to wrap around the base of the flower, but I personally take a piece of either the same, or a narrower ribbon, and using hot glue to secure it and tie the ribbon around to hide the glue.
