my version of tulip bow. what do you think?

[Lynn*]

Hello everybody.

here they are. Please criticise!This is my improvisation. the tulip has actually a 3D look in real, I am not sure if it showed in photos. Do you think it can blend nicely with the new gymbo line as I am not so sure...
Thanks for looking.

Here is my attemp for instruction. Hope you can understand me, I know I am no good at it. and sorry about the poor quality photos, I tried to crop them and it turned out big and blur.
1. heat seal two ends

6. steps 6, 12, 16, 18 : use the lighter to heat up the edges until they slightly melt, then quickly use your finger to press them together. they will blend into each other and stay fixed , better than if using glue. If you havn't got the effect after 1st time, do it again until theyare fixed together

Thank you ladies for your encouragement, you're generous...
@daisymae: Thank you for pointing it out to me, I'll try to revise those and post photo again
@Sarah: Yes, I 'll try to make up an instruction even God knows I can't be comprehensive I think I'll do the tulip one as the rose will be a 2 weeks project- may be more. The only good thing about my tulip is that there is no need of glue. All you need are scisors and a lighter. I made them last night watching TV on the sofa with my DH and was just too lazy to go finding needle thread and glue, so I found away to do just with lighter (Well you do need to use glue to fix the flower and the leaves to the stem though). Will try to do photos tonight

Thank you. I have taken photos for the instruction. But I'll need to ask my DH to help to take some others , in which I will need both hand to hold the ribbon and the lighter, so I could not do it myself. I'll post the inst. tonight or tomorrow.

I have updated the original post with instr.
