How to use your ribbon flowers!

The September issue of PaperCraft inspirations is about to hit the shops, with free ribbon flower embellishments for you! Watch the video below to see our creative editor Angela showing you how to use your free gift:

In a rush to get started? Here are the steps:

Step 1 Pop out your flower shape and use a small pair of scissors to poke out the little holes and slots.

Step 2 Snip the end of your ribbon strip into a point. This makes it easier to guide the ribbon through the slots in the flower.

Step 3 Thread the ribbon through the centre of the flower and stick it at the back with a small piece of double-sided tape.

Step 4 Start working your way around the flower, threading the ribbon from the centre out to the slot in each petal.
