This ribbon embroidery tutorial from Yeng Handmade is a perfect introduction to using thin ribbon instead of traditional thread. You’ll learn how to create eight different floral designs, including a hydrangea-like bloom made with double French knots. The project also covers how to turn a simple back stitch into a delicate rose. You’ll also learn how to use basic straight stitches with yellow ribbon to build a bright sunflower.
The guide walks you through more advanced textures as well, like the woven spider web and twirled ribbon roses, which give the flowers a realistic, 3D lift. You’ll also practice leaf stitches and looped satin stitches to add greenery and variety to your work. Because it uses thin ribbon, the results are soft and elegant, making it a great way for beginners to see how different materials can completely change the look of their hand stitching.
