In all this unpacking, I can't seem to find any of my hair accessories anywhere. I was lucky to find a lone headband and some ponytail holders, but that was it. Yesterday I was in a boring old blue t-shirt, no jewelry (makes me itch, remember?), and I needed SOMETHING for my hair!!

Time to bust out the wired ribbon, baby. (Kari, have you made yours yet???)

I had some irridescent orange that was screaming to be used. Blue and Orange are complimentary colors, you see. Thank you, color theory 101. You will need wired ribbon, needle and thread, felt, and a hot glue gun.

Pull all your ribbon off the spool. The flower at the top of the post was made with only half the spool, so go ahead and cut your ribbon length in half!

Find one of the wires, and give it a little tug to pull it away from the ribbon. Loop it, bend it, squish it into an unrecognizable thing, but make sure it won't be able to slide back into the ribbon as you are gathering it.

Take the other end of the wire and pull on it. The ribbon is super easy to gather and ruffle on the wire! Gather the ribbon as tight as possible for a really poofy flower. When you are done gathering, cut the wire and loop and bend it again so all your "hard work" doesn't come undone.

Start rolling your ribbon! I take the end and pull it down between my fingers, then start winding. That way, no raw edge makes its way to a visible part of your flower.
