Six lengths of red ribbon; 3 x 8" and 3 x 10" long Two short lengths of narrow gold ribbon Wire

Cut one strip of ribbon eight inches long. Cut both ends on a slant. Cut two more the same. These are the petals.
Pinch the petals across the centre.
Hold all three together and wrap around the centre. If you wish, make a second row of petals the same way using 10" pieces of ribbon. Attach all petals together with wire.
To make the flower centre, cut two pieces of gold narrow ribbon and tie two knots in the centre or each. Set the knots in the centre of the flower and bring ribbon to the back. Secure with wire.
