Combining silk ribbon with pearls is my secret weapon for creating embroidery that looks luxuriously three-dimensional and soft. The ribbon provides lush, realistic petals, while the pearls add a touch of refined sparkle. I used this technique on a clutch bag, and it instantly looked like a designer piece.
How to Embroider a Bloom:
The Ribbon Petals: Thread a needle with 4mm silk ribbon. Come up through the fabric where you want the center of your flower to be. Now, form a loose loop (a lazy daisy stitch) and push the needle down right next to where you came up, securing the loop to form a petal. Make 5-7 petals in a circle.
The Pearl Center: Once your petals are done, come up in the very center of the flower. Stitch on a small pearl or a cluster of seed beads. This not only creates the flower’s center but also helps secure the base of the ribbon petals.
Add Leaves: Use green ribbon or green embroidery floss in a leaf stitch around the flower to complete the look.
The result is a beautiful, textured flower that has incredible visual depth and a touch of elegance.
Ribbon and pearl combination really blends well and also enhances look of the stitches. In this tutorial, learn how to hand beautiful folds by hand and sewing peonies. The sewing flowers add that extra special touch. You would love to sew these flowers on all types of projects.
