Embellishing the bag
1. For additional flower techniques, designs and ideas, follow instructions in Gibb's book, The Secrets of Fashioning Ribbon Flowers. Assemble the flowers and leaves in a pleasing composition.
2. Stitch the assembled flowers and leaves to crinoline lace.
3. Stitch beads and buttons to the crinoline to further embellish the composition.
4. Glue the crinoline to the purse as desired.
5. If your bag has an open design such as the one seen in the first picture on this page, insert a length of ribbon in the design for extra embellishment.
