I like ribbon work, regardless of it it’s silk and in a needle or three-inch wide grosgrain. It’s all wonderful to create with. Ribbon is fun to play with and there is an almost never-ending variety of materials and colors and results.
And years ago, I bought this 7/8 inch wide yellow ribbon to make sunflowers with. It just seemed right to do it now.
If you have a yellow ribbon of that exact size in your stash, you can make one my size. If you have *any* yellow ribbon, you can make a sunflower of any size.

The center of the flower is black felt. For this flower, I used a toilet tissue roll as a pattern, and traced around it with chalk. I then rand a basting line through the drawn line and pulled it up. Knot the threads on the back and shape it to be the center of your flower. I do have some 1/8 inch brown ribbon put aside to make a center with French Knots, but there was an urgency to make this.

I used 7 6 inch strips of ribbon to form the flower You can add petals to make it thicker, or cut shorter ones to make a double petal flower as well.

All you need to do is fold your ribbon half way, and secure the base. I just pinned it to the center.

That’s it. It’s all done now. I have made a few of these to pin to jackets and hang in windows and even to give away.
Enjoy making a sunflower.
And let there be peace on earth.
