One thing I love to craft with is ribbon. I love everything about ribbon. I came up with the idea to make no sew ribbon flowers with buttons with some leftover ribbon I had from my St. Patrick’s Day Ribbon Wreath. The button aisle is not one of my regular aisles at the craft store, but now it is! I was so happy when I found shamrock buttons.

Supplies for Ribbon Flower Tutorial:
Variety of St. Patrick’s Day Ribbon
Hot Glue Gun/Glue Sticks
Scissors
Cutting Mat
Ruler
Shamrock Buttons
The flowers can be made with any type of ribbon or buttons which is a project that I love to create because the possibilities are endless. All you need are matching ribbons and buttons! An advantage is the flowers can be used for a variety of decor from wreaths to hair bows/headbands to signs ornflowers in a centerpiece. Just use your creativity!
The length of your ribbons will depend on the size of the flower that you want to make. For small flowers I cut the ribbon about 4 inches and for larger flowers I cut the ribbon about 5 inches. The number of petals (aka the ribbon) is up to you. For my smaller flowers I did about 6 petals and for the largest flower I used 12 petals.
Let’s Create No Sew Ribbon Flowers with Buttons
The steps to make these are really simple. Cut your ribbon the length that you would like, I love using my craft mat because it has a ruler right on it and you can easily clean the hot glue off.

Fold the ribbon in half and hot glue the ends together.

Just a dab of hot glue will do.

Once all your ribbon is glued in half, start glueing the ribbon pieces together in the shape of a flower.

As you glue the ribbon together add some to the top and sometimes glue at the bottom of the flower too. Before I added glue I would hold the ribbon either at the top or bottom to see which looked better for the flower.

Last step is to add the shamrock button in the center.
