Terry Ricioli Designs

 Hi Everyone! It's beginning to look like Spring here. It's lovely after all the rain we've had here in Sonoma County. In celebration of Spring, I've made a Ribbon Flower Pin.   It's quick.  It's easy.  And, you can use any color ribbon or type you like.

Here's what you'll need to make a flower like mine: 15" of 1 1/2" wide grosgrain ribbon (flower color) 5" of 3/8" wide grosgrain ribbon (center color) 10" of 5/8" wide grosgrain ribbon in green Tools: scissors, needle and thread, hot glue and glue gun Instructions: To start, I've used a wide grosgrain ribbon (1 1/2") .  I used 15" of ribbon, but you can make it smaller or larger.
