How to make a charm with satin ribbons?

  1. It is necessary to take two thin ribbons 2 m long and fold them in half.
  2. We twist them as shown in the picture. In order not to be confused, we number the tapes.
  3. Tape 3 up.
  4. We put tape 1 on top of tape 3 and draw it into the loop formed between tapes 3 and 4. Tighten and get a square. To get a keychain round company, you need to tighten more tightly.
  5. The view from the back should be like that.
  6. Lower the tape3 (which is the top) down.
  7. Tape 2 (left) to the right, and then tape 4 (bottom) - upward.
  8. We put tape 1 in the loop, which was formed by tape 3 when lowering.
  9. And again tighten. We continue to weave as well, until we get here such a keychain that we tie the remaining ribbons to the ring.

Stages of work:

  1. Cut off a piece of brown clay and roll out of it two identical balls.
  2. One ball is flattened more, the other is weaker, so that it looks like the top half of a bun.
  3. We make yellow and green beads. From the yellow cut out a square (it will be cheese), and from the salad we will sculpt a thin leaf of lettuce.

  5. We make small indentations in it and put in them a fine crumb of yellow clay (sesame).
  6. We make a hole in the middle of the cheeseburger, bake it at the right temperature according to the instructions.
  7. In the hole we insert the carnation, fill it with glue, attach the cord for the key fob. The cheeseburger is ready!
