Red, White, and Blue ribbon Flower clip

I have seen these all over Pinterest but no measurement on how to make them so I decided trial by error and figured out how to make them and I want to share it with you.

 I cut eight pieces of 3/8 inch gross grain ribbon in sizes.

Blue 1 1/2 inch
White 1 3/4 inch
Red 2 inch

I am using some Dual and Duty Plus Craft and Button thread.

A nice thick thread will do, I lined up the ribbon as shown in the photo and also doubled the thread.

 I then pulled it threw and lined up the ribbon on the other side and needed it threw.

 Here all sets done.

 I seperated them just a little and sealed the edges of all eight sets.

 I tied in a double knot and attached it to a hair clip.

It took some rearangeing and its not perfect but it will work.

 Using a small circle die and white felt I added it to the back of the clip with some hot glue.

 To add some more stability I hot glued a gem to the center of the top of the flower.
