How to make cute little flowers with silk ribbon
Loop stitch is ideal for making clusters of small flowers. It is an easy stitch to do and French knots are added afterwards to form the stamens.
For this F monogram from my Embroidered Alphabets book, I used loop stitch for the little blue flowers.

Step 1. Use 4, 7 or 13mm silk ribbon and make a small stitch, working over a spare tapestry needle or similar object. Step 2. Make a loop stitch for each flower, forming the loops close together to create clusters of flowers. Step 3. Use one strand of thread and add a French knot on each loop to form the centre of the flower. Hint: You could use a small seed bead instead of a French knot.

Hello Renn!
I received the parcel today, just 20 minutes ago. It was perfectly
packed, no damages. It was the first time when the parcel came so
promptly, in 4 days!!!
Is it possible to us...Marina Zherdeva, Moscow, Russia -
I love all your works. It is beautiful and I am tempted to try it. Thank you for your tutoriels.
thank u very much
Quiero en principio felicitarla por un trabajo tan espectacular, me gusta mucho y estoy bordando en cinta desde hace un tiempo, he descubierto su web unos dias atras.
Sus videos son claros y muy didacticos,he logrado bordar algunas flores que quedaron muy lindas gracias por subir estos videos.
Vivo en La Paz Bolivia(Sud America)y creo que acceder a sus productos es algo complicado voy a ver la forma de hacerlo.
De todas maneras le agradezco nuevamente y estoy pendiente de los nuevos tutoriales que
suba al internet y aprender mucho mas. Nancy.

Thank you for this and all your other free lessons! I had never done silk embroidery, but when I accidentally ran into one of your videos on youtube, I fell in love–your work is exquisite!–and had to try it. You sure make it easy to understand.
¡Gracias!
