Step-by-step execution of the craft.

The main stage: making roses from satin ribbons.
For my topiary, I took pink ribbons. Since this tree of happiness will belong to a little girl. You can take any width of the ribbons: from 2 cm to 5 cm. This will depend on how big you want your roses to be. If you are just starting to work with satin ribbons, it is better to take a wide ribbon. It will be more convenient for you to hold it in your hands and form rose petals. Ribbon roses are not made as quickly as we think. It is necessary to master the technique of making them and do several trials. And having learned to “manage” the ribbon, you can easily make beautiful buds and roses. A rose is made from a whole piece of ribbon, and, having obtained the desired size of the flower, cut the ribbon. You can immediately cut the ribbon into strips, knowing that on average it takes 35 - 40 cm for one rose.
Let's get to work. Take a ribbon and a needle and thread to match the ribbon. We hold the tape with our left hand, and with our right hand we bend the top corner of the tape down at an angle of 90 degrees.

We twist the ribbon, making the middle of the rose, and sew the bottom with a few stitches.

Bend the ribbon away from you and wrap the folded ribbon around the middle. Carefully hem with stitches. This is how the bud turned out.

Bend the ribbon back and down again, twist the bud, making a rose petal. We hem the bottom.

We repeat the action, making more and more petals. Don't forget to secure the tape at the bottom so that the petals keep their shape well.

Cut the ribbon and sew the cut end of the ribbon. This is what the flower looks like from the reverse side.

The rose is ready! One, two, three... The flowers turn out beautiful, delicate, airy. We admired it and continue to work patiently, showing accuracy and diligence. This was my first time making topiary from satin roses, so I didn’t know how many flowers to make. I got carried away with the work and this is the result! 20 beautiful roses of different shades lie on the table.

Second stage: preparation of the crown and trunk.
For the trunk we need 2 sticks. I prepare them for future use in the summer. I find branches of a bizarre, twisting shape. I remove the bark, peel it and dry it in the sun. We connect two sticks together with adhesive tape. This needs to be done so that they look beautiful and complement each other. Our tree will have such an unusual trunk.

For the crown I took a foam ball. If you can’t buy it, make a ball out of old newspapers, wrap it with thread, and cover the top layer with white paper napkins. Make a hole in the ball, add glue and insert a stick. The ball is now firmly in place.

We secure the end of the pink ribbon with glue and wrap it around the barrel. The ribbon should overlap. Add glue here and there to prevent the ribbon from sliding down the stick.

Wrap the ribbon around the second stick. It will become a stand for the mirror.

For contrast and to add brightness to the trunk, we wrap it with a narrow, bright pink ribbon. The trunk and crown are ready.

Third stage: installation of the tree.
We take a beautiful pot, insert a piece of polystyrene foam into it, make a hole in it and install the topiary blank. Polystyrene foam will help save the pot from cracking when filled with alabaster.

We dilute the alabaster to thick sour cream and carefully place it in the pot with a spoon, leveling the surface. We wait until it hardens completely.

Stage four: decorating the crown with flowers.
Using a heat gun, we begin gluing the roses from below.

We try to glue the roses, alternating them by color. Rose to rose and our ball gradually turns into one big pink flower.

It is impossible to count the number of roses needed for the job. So I had to do three more and only then continue my work. I glue them to the top of the ball and the crown is ready!

To add elegance to the topiary, glue large pearl beads to the rose petals, and small pink beads to the trunk.

Decorate the surface of the pot with sisal and beads.

We glue one rose decorated with beads to another tree trunk.

Well, now let's prepare a surprise for our fashionista. This is a mirror with a picture of a beautiful girl. And what’s interesting is that if you turn the mirror a little, the girl opens and closes her eyes, as if she’s blinking at you. We tie a ribbon to the mirror.

We hang a mirror and admire our creation.

Flowers from ribbons for topiary (photo master class step by step)

For the flower we will need ribbons of two colors 25 and 50 mm wide, rhinestones, felt, glue, thread, needle, scissors, lighter

We cut the ribbons into equal rectangles and trim the edges with a lighter. To form a petal, bend the edge of the tape, as shown in the figure, then bend the tip of the bent edge back. We do the same on the other side

We connect and fix the edges with thread. We will need quite a lot of such elements

We form a rose from the petals and glue it to a felt base.

Fold a piece of ribbon of a different color in half, cut it diagonally, and connect the edges with a lighter.

We connect the structure with glue; a folded petal can be fixed in one of the elements

We decorate the flower at our discretion. Decor for topiary is ready

Such a flower can become a bright highlight in your topiary; the remaining elements can be made simpler.

Ribbon topiary: how to make a sunflower

This MK also involves many variations. Most often it is a combination of materials, such as ribbons and coffee beans. This DIY option is probably the most popular.

It's not that difficult to make. You will need a yellow satin ribbon that is wide enough. From it you must cut out at least 20 identical petals. To prevent the fabric from falling off, it will have to be melted over a flame, but only together with the fastenings.

To decorate the center of your sunflower, you can use unhulled seeds, coffee beans or the same ribbons

The fact is that you are not just cutting out oval petals, everything is a little more tricky.

To make a sunflower petal you need:

Take a piece 15 cm long and bend it in half;
Bend it so that when you connect the ends you get a loop;
When melted, the ends will not only not crumble, they will also be held together.

In order for a sunflower to be lush and beautiful, there must be two rows of petals - upper and lower

You make the core with your own hands from coffee beans. You can glue them onto some kind of durable base like felt or regular cardboard.

Ribbon topiary: master class from start to finish

So, it's time to use flower blanks and finally make this souvenir flowering tree.

Having collected all the materials together, you can start by making the base for the crown. Let's say you decide not to make this base ball with your own hands, but use a foam blank. Great, save time. But if you don’t find such a blank, take the most ordinary newspapers, threads and glue. Make a ball of newspaper, weigh it down with glue, and wrap it with thread until it looks like a ball. The base is ready!

Also, an excellent base for topiary of a suitable size can be made from macroflex

The newspaper ball needs to be painted to match the color of your roses, daisies, etc.;
In one of the places of the ball, make a hole for the barrel;
You can insert the trunk into the ball immediately, fix the branch or stick with hot glue;
Hold the barrel in the ball for a while, do not let go until it “grabs” well;
Now this entire structure can be decorated - wrap the trunk with satin ribbon or decorative braid, without deviating from the general color scheme;
Fix the ends of the tape or braid with glue;
The time has come to attach the flowers, hot glue and a hot glue gun will help you do this carefully, attach so that the gaps are as invisible as possible;
The result is a trunk with a crown that needs to be planted somewhere;
You can buy a beautiful flowerpot at a flower shop, and you won’t have to do anything yourself;
You can decorate any container - wrap a cup or glass with lace ribbons or crepe paper, paint it with acrylic paints, wrap it with knitting threads to match the crown, etc.;
Now pour the gypsum solution into the pot and lower the tree there, hold until it stands firmly and evenly in the plaster;
All that remains is the finishing decor - decorate the top layer of plaster with transparent artificial stones, which shimmer so beautifully in the sun.

A topiary pot can be decorated with any decor you have on hand. It can be textiles, twine, corrugation and much more.

You can plant a figurine of a ladybug or a butterfly on one of the flowers. Everything is ready, you have made a delicate topiary with your own hands from satin ribbons, worthy of a gift and the best decor for a girl’s room.
