Step Three:Repeat on entire length of ribbon.

Step Three:Punch the circle out of matching cardstock. Apply adhesive to entire punched circle.

Step Four:Starting at the outer edge of the cardstock, press the straight edge of the ribbon onto the edge of the circle. Apply the ribbon so that the ribbon is attached about 1/8” in.

Step Five:Continue adding the ribbon around the edge of the circle. Once the complete outer edge is filled, start a row on the inside of the circle in the same way, overlapping the curled petals. (Note: the ribbon length is wrapped in my palm in this picture; do not cut the ribbon in this step,

Step Six:Continue around the inside of the ribbon until the entire center area is filled.

Step Seven:Use the scissors to cut off any excess ribbon.
