Craft - Flower

1. Get a piece of ribbon about 1.5 inches wide by 22 inches. (When you buy ribbon, it should come in either size, or both.)

2. Fold along the dotted line. You should get a trapezoid on the folded side.

3. Fold along the dotted line to divide the trapezoid in half.

4. Fold along the dotted line to divide the trapezoid in half again.

5. Hold the trapezoid. This is the "stem". With your right hand, put your right thumb behind the ribbon. With your four other fingers, flip the ribbon.

5. After you flipped it, your right thumb should be in a little "socket" of the ribbon.

6. With your left hand, hold onto the bottom tip of the the flipped portion. With your right, continue folding and flipping with the same hand position (right thumb under ribbon)

7. Continue flipping until you reached the end of the ribbon. Hold the end piece against the "stem". Place an actual metal stem inside the trapezoid. Wrap the "stem" with the end piece.

Note: flower tape will make your hands usually sticky that soap can't wash off.. -.-
8. With your flower tape, wrap the end piece tightly against the "stem". Make sure the flower cannot be pulled out. Wrap a bit of the metal stem as well. You can also tape the entire metal stem, but it is not necessary. (Apologies for the lack of images, it's kinda hard to draw out -.-')
