Satin Ribbon Dahlia

coordinating gem - i used the fashion pearl

needle and thread

now take your needle and thread and do a “zig zag” running stitch until you run out of thread. you'll want a pretty amount of thread. make sure to double it

here's a close up of how i do my stitches. you see my needle and how it goes in the ribbon to get the amount of stitches i want

when you get to the end of the thread

now twist the ribbon into a flower form. glue every so often so it will all stay together as you are rolling it

then just add a dab of glue to your gem and place it in the center of your satin ribbon dahlia! so pretty
