I want to make D.I.Y. a Flower ribbon pin.

[Calypsa]

ok, this is my first post in Craftster, I'm writing from Barcelona (Spain).
So my question is: I want to make a ribbon flower pin to attach to my purse or my coat or both, and I'd like the style to be similar to that pins I see in american films when they get the 1st prize of something.
I think it must be easy, but I dont know how to do it. Can you help me please?
Hugs! Calypsa.

These are called 'rosettes' here's a link to a site with instructions on how to make them.  I hope this is more or less what you're looking for.

Does anyone know of a tutorial or link with instructions on how to make a more "realistic-looking" flower out of ribbon - one that could also have a pin attached on the back?  Thanks

Try this link. I made it today and wore it tonight. I got probably 15 compliments on it and ORDERS for several! It's super easy but with gorgeous results!!!

Oh that link is JUST what I was looking for (and easy, too)!  I did some hunting of my own on the internet and found this link which also seems rather good:

The ones you posted are all right, but the first one gives a... I dont know how to tell, kind indiesh look that I like, the ther flowers are more... predictable.
By the way, anyone can help me with the explanations (I'm not an English speaker, you know...)? The thing is: in the 1st pic, when the ribbon has been cut, are the pieces sewn by one side or just put together? And how do I manage do fold them square?
Sorry for the inconveniences and thank you very much!

tienes que hacer la roseta (cortando ya sabes), luego la coses por las esquinas y le haces un nudo nadamas y luego hay que plancharla para quede plana (eso no lo dice en el sitio pero debe de ser asi, la doblas a la forma que quieres y lugeo lo planchas), y lo mismo con la segunda... espero haberte ayudado en algo...
