5. Make two large folded roses with 12 inches of purple or red striped ribbon for each rose.

Fold the ribbon across once.
Tightly roll it until the top of the rolled ribbon forms a round cylinder (figure F).
Stitch the base to secure ribbon folds. Do not cut the thread.
Fold the ribbon on the left, toward the back.
Tilt the coiled ribbon cylinder so it rests almost at the end of the diagonal fold.
The top of the cylinder should not rise higher than the folded edge of the ribbon.
Roll the ribbon cylinder beyond the diagonal and until the excess ribbon is situated to the left of the cylinder again.
Secure the new folds of the ribbon cylinder.
Repeat until the ribbon is used up.
Finish the rose by folding down the last few inches of ribbon into the base of the rose and stitch to secure (figure G).
Trim the excess ribbon from the base of the rose.
Make one smaller folded rose using 4 inches of red striped 1-inch wide ribbon.

6. Make two small gold folded roses with ruffles using the satin silk ribbon and the pleated ribbons.

Use 4-1/2" of 3/8" wide beige and pale gold silk satin ribbons for each folded rose. Follow steps for item 5 (figure H).
Sew a u-gather ruffle using 5-1/2 inches of pale gold pleated crepe ribbon and 5-1/2 inches of dark gold pleated crepe ribbon.
Place a ruffled ribbon around each of the folded rose centers (figure I).

7. Make two flat buds using 3 inches of purple and red ribbons for each bud.

Fold the ribbon at an angle across itself, so the ribbon almost forms a triangle.
Curl back the left edge of the ribbon.
Stitch and gather across the layers of ribbon as shown (figure J).
Pull the gathering tightly and wrap the thread once around the stitching and secure.
Make a calyx for each rosebud using 2 inches of 5/8-inch wide olive green ribbon.
Wrap the ribbon around the raw edges and secure in the back of the bud with a few stitches (figure K).
