Step 2: Cut Your Ribbon in Half. Take One Half and Fold It Into Half.

Step 4: This Is How It Should Look Like Now. Seal the Ends Using Lighter, Use the Blue Flame for Clear Sealing

Step 5: Now, Keep Your Needle and Thread Ready. (I Chose a Matching Color)

Step 6: Start Rotating From the Middle Towards End. Just Stitch for Every Once in a While to Make Sure the Flower Stays in Place. (you Can Use Fabric Glue If You Are Allergic to Sewing.

Step 7: In the End, Push the Last Piece on the Back of Rose. This Will Be Your Back. Here Is Your Finished Rose. I Made 2.

Step 8: Now, Use Your Bead Cap As Filigree

Just open the bead cap ends using pliers and it will fan out as a filigree. Paste your flowers on to the filigree.
