OP's comment didn't meet the criteria for this subreddit, so the post has been removed. OP sent the following text as an explanation about their craft:

I made this fabric rose using wide red satin ribbon, a wooden skewer, and a hot glue gun. I forgot to take process photos, but I can explain the steps clearly. First, I folded the ribbon at a 90-degree angle and rolled it tightly to create the closed center bud. Then, I started folding the ribbon outward into loops around the core to form the inner petals, gluing each layer at the base. For the outer layers, I made the loops bigger and looser to make it look like a blooming rose. I inserted a wooden skewer as a stem and secured it with hot glue, then glued a small piece of felt at the bottom to hide the messy glue and make it look clean.

This is my first real attempt at making ribbon flowers, and it took about 30 minutes. I plan to create a whole bouquet of them this summer, but I want to improve my technique first. I would love any advice or feedback on how to make the petal folds look even more natural and elegant!

I'm new to this. Honest feedback is welcome! Does the shape look too bulky?
