Folding the St. George's ribbon(master class)
Soon we will celebrate the 71st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War! On the eve of the holiday, I decided to make beautifully folded St. George's ribbons. They will decorate our white blouses and shirts at the holiday, and after that the guys will go to the Victory Parade with them!
I hope my explanation will be clear.
Cutting off ribbon measuring 20-25 cm(for testing it is better to cut it longer)
bend the right edge (slightly at an angle)
And simply bend the left side down from behind, straighten all the parts evenly and neatly tapes.
Can be glued with Moment glue (crystal). But I sewed it with thread, carefully along the black stripe. Then we will attach them to blouses and shirts with pins. Here is the result of my work!
Thank you for your attention!
