Searching around Pinterest I spied some amazing artwork by Thomas Campbell and was instantly inspired. I had to make a pinwheel flower! The different textures and colours of Maya Road ribbons and trims make a perfect combination for these blooms.
Supplies:
Ribbon and Trim Assortment from Maya Road
adhesive, scissors, petal template, cardstock
1. Print template. Trace 11 petals onto cardstock and cut out.
2. Adhere ribbon to petals...
back view...
3. Trim off excess ribbon.
4. Repeat with other petals.
5. Attach petals in a circular pattern onto a scrap piece of cardstock.
You can either leave the flower as is or add lots of fun stitching. I used mine to decorate the front of a Maya Road 8 X 8 binder album.
Have a wonderful day,
That is very cool! Inspiration in so many things we see:) You never know where it's gonna come from!

Luv this idea. I am so going to do this with leftover ribbons too small for another project, but large enough to keep. Mine will most likely be on a smaller scale, though. Maybe not. I'll see what I have. Thanks for sharing!!

what a great way to use all my ribbons scraps (that I keep saving for 'something special'). Thanks for the template, I cannot wait to try it.

Super cute. I have to try figure out a way to glue the ribbon without having it near the edges so I can machine stitch. Looks fabulous!
