Ribbon roses are very easy to make! You can make them any size,
large or small. You can also use any size and type of ribbon.
To make these roses, all you need is ribbon, scissors, and a very
heavy-duty double-sided adhesive. The best thing to use is either Stampin' Up!'s "Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets" or their "Jumbo Sticky Rounds." (Note: you can also use sticky strip or double-sided tape;
however, if you use either of these two you must first adhere them to a
piece of cardstock so that your roses have a supportive backing. Just
cut a piece of cardstock a little bit larger than the size of the rose
you want to make, and then cover the cardstock in sticky strip or tape.
Then you will be ready to go!)

Ok! Now that you have your supplies, let's get started!
1) If you're using the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets, cut out a square a little bit bigger than the size of the rose you want
2) Peel off the pink covering to expose the adhesive
3) Stick one end of the ribbon onto the adhesive and begin twisting
4) Keep twisting and adhering the ribbon while at the same time forming a circle
5) Continue twisting and adhering until you make the rose the size you want
6) Tuck and adhere the end of the ribbon underneath part of the rose
7) Cut out the rose
8) Peel off the back of the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet and adhere the rose to your project
(If you use the cardstock method, all you need to do is apply the rose to your project with your regular adhesive)
