Answer 1

Try crocheting.
There are patterns on internet, but I will give you a short 'how to'.

Row 1, chain 5 stitches, close into a circle.
Row 2, chain 3 for the first double crochet, 25 double crochet, make them round the base ring rather than in the stitches. Close the round.
Row 3, *half stitch in the first stitch, stitch in the second, half double crochet 3 double crochet half double crochet in the 3th stitch, stitch in the 4th, half stitch in the fifth*, repeat the rest of the row.

This will give you a flower with 5 small petals.
You can finish here or you can make it bigger by making a 4th row,
Row 4, *Half stitch in the half stitch, stitch and hald double crochet in the stitch, 2 double crochet in the next stitch, 2 (or as many as you like) double crochet in each of the double crochet, 2 double crochet in the half double crochet, half double crochet and one stitch in the stitch, half stitch in the half stitch,* Repeat for the row.

For the stem you work a chain in green. If the single chain is to thin you can work back along in, any stitch as long as it looks like a stem.

You can make more petals by making more stitches in the first and second row, you can make the flowers bigger by making more base rows before starting with the petals, and making more rows in the petals.

Use all colours that fit with the flowers or ribbons you already have, or just all that you have at hand.

Experiment and remember, if it looks right it is right.
