Pansies of ribbons: master class, description, photo

Many craftsmen who are engaged in decorating a home interior or creating interesting pieces of clothing, like the pansies of the eyes from the ribbons. A master class that would consistently tell about the process of this type of work is simply necessary. After all, it is almost impossible to guess by yourself how stitches and stitches are performed, how the ribbon is folded, and how flowers and their bouquets are formed.

What kinds of tapes are suitable for work

Faced with the need to choose the material for embroidery, you can really get lost. Today, the range of specialized stores is so wide that, having entered one of them, it is impossible to leave without buying.

In fact, you can choose almost any material to make pansies from tapes (the master class, offered below, illustrates the work with satin ribbons). Here the preference is given to those materials that are suitable for the master in terms of color, texture and width. You can buy a tape from:

• Atlas.
• Silks.
• Caprona.
• Organza.

Each of these materials contains synthetic fibers, which is very good for the future product. Artificial materials do not shed, do not stretch, do not deform, that is, the work done will be preserved for a long time.

Material width value

The most commonly used tape size 3, 5, 7, 12, 15 millimeters. For example, a 7 mm wide ribbon was used to perform the "Pansies" embroidery with ribbons (the master class is given below). Material of this size is perfectly threaded into the eye of the needle for embroidery, and also does not cause problems with draping.

But to create colors for the purpose of subsequent attachment to the canvas, it is better to choose a material wider. By the way, the tapes can be combined: wide use for large petals, narrower - for smaller ones or for leaves.

A real luck is the discovery of two-colored ribbons. Gradient painting is great for creating colors such as pansies, ribbons. Master classes in this article are based on the use of just such materials. Most often, flowers are performed with the help of ribbons.

Pansies of ribbons: master class. Step by step photo and description of stages

To create such a flower, does not necessarily have to be an ace of embroidery. Using the simplest stitches and basic techniques, you can make pansies out of the ribbons with your own hands. The master class is quite simple:

1. On the canvas of the base mark the middle of the future flower and the top of each petal.
2. Attach the tape in the center, leaving the bundle from the wrong side.
3. Lay the ribbon so that it forms a freely lying stitch, and then puncture the needle at the point designated as the top of the petal. In this case, the formed stitch must be penetrated.
4. Very carefully, the tape is dragged to the wrong side, making sure that on the front there is an even roller. The tape is stretched until the roller forms an acute angle.
   

This technique is used to embroider all the petals of pansies. First do those that are conditionally directed to 10, 12 and 2 hours (taking for the reference the classic arrangement of the digits on the dial). Then they return to those looking at 11 and 1 o'clock. Later embroider other petals, stem and buds.

The middle of these colors is performed with the help of the "French knot". The principle of its formation is depicted in the photo.

If you could not buy such material, which is depicted in the photo, do not get upset. You can choose two shades of the same color to perform a pansy out of the ribbons. The master class includes a simple algorithm that will remain unchanged, only it will be necessary to use different tapes to create the first and second level petals.

For work it is necessary to prepare:

1. Sharp scissors.
2. Needle for embroidery with ribbons (with a wide and long eye).
3. Tapes themselves.
4. Pins for fixing parts.
5. Dense fabric for the substrate.
6. Ruler and pencil.

Where to begin?

Each such flower is attached to a dense fabric. If it is part of a composition, you can perform it directly on a large canvas. However, you should start forming colors on individual rectangles in the event that you need independent pansies from the ribbons. Master class (photo can be found below) offers just such an option.

First of all, it is necessary to cut off a fragment of the tape from which the large petals of the second level will be made. As a rule, in living flowers they have a darker color than the middle. The tape is folded with an angle (in the photo on the left) and stitched along a line marked with a dotted line. The finished fragment is fixed on a tissue-base.

Next, cut a longer tape and fold a rectangle that has two angles. Fasten the seat of the folds with pins and stitch along the dotted line (the line goes along the dark side). The second lobe of the first layer is similarly executed, but the tape is folded so that the line is on the light side.

They make a center: a bright yellow ribbon is tied with a knot and placed in such a way that it can be seen between the petals. Then fix the rest of the parts.

Other secrets of colors from ribbons

The flower is ready, it can be fastened with an adhesive gun or thread to almost any basis.

An alternative way is depicted in the photo.

The darkened mid-dots were obtained by marking the final products with a marker. However, this is relevant only for panels and paintings. In order to avoid the color transition when washing decorated clothes, it is better to paint flowers with special paints for the fabric.
