Instructions for the Ribbon Flowers:
Instructions for the Ribbon:
Cut off a section of duc_ tape that is 12" or longer. Fold the tape
onto itself so the final piece is the same length, just 1/2 the width
and non-sticky on both sides. Trim this strip to a final length of 11".
Fold the strip in half. At 3/4" on either side of halfway, fold the
outside length forward at a 45 degree angle on the top edge. Of the two
sides that fold forwards, one will layer on top and the other beneath.
Turn the folded ribbon over and hot glue several of the ribbons
together. We used 4. You now have the flower top.
Instructions for the Leaves and Stem:
Cut off a section of duc_ tape that is 12" or longer. Roll the duc_
tape tightly onto itself keeping the length. (Hard to do!) Easier: Roll
the duc_ tape onto a pipe cleaner or thin rope keeping the length. This
will be the stem. Trim and glue in place with the flower section
previously made.
Cut off a section of duc_ tape that is 5" or longer. Cut off a
second section of duc_ tape that is 5" or longer. Tape the two pieces to
each other, sticky section to sticky section. Cut this piece into
a leaf shape. Cut off a section of duc_ tape that is 3" in length. Use
this piece to wrap around the bottom of the leaf and the stem connecting
them together where desired. You can also use glue to attach the leaf.
Make a few more...and attach them also.
