Cut a length of ribbon about a yard long. Then, take the ribbon and fold it down. You can either use a T-PIN to hold it in place and pull it out later, stitch it, or dab a bit of hot glue into the fold and press down to adhere.
step one
step two
Now begin rolling the ribbon and do it somewhat tightly at first. As you progress with the rolling you can loosen up the grip. The center is going to look like the center of a rose, so think about how a rose in nature unfurls.
As you move along turning your ribbon you’ll want to fold it over every other turn or so, to form the folds of the rose. Don't stress! It doesn't need to look perfect.

step four
Hot glue your ribbon rose when you feel that it's complete at the very last turn on the backside, then pull out your T-Pin and cut off any excess ribbon.
step five
If you choose to make flowers to place in a vase, grab a chenille pipe cleaner and push it up inside the center roll with a dab of hot glue.
