Tutorial: No-sew fabric and ribbon flower wands

Coats & Clark shares a free PDF project sheet for making these fabric and ribbon flower wands. They’re made with Phoomph! double stick foam sheets, so there’s no sewing required. The middles of the flower are fabric prints, and the petals loops of ribbon. They’d make great favors for a little girl’s birthday party. Or, how about using them as pretty plant stakes in spring flower arrangements? You could also easily adapt this project to make them award ribbons. Instead of the stick, have lengths of ribbon hanging down from the bottom, and add a pin to the back so it can be worn. Go to Sewing Secrets to download the PDF project sheet.
