How to Work a Spider Web Rose Using Ribbon

The spider web rose is a decorative stitch used in ribbon embroidery to create a textured, intricate flower that resembles a rose. The stitch adds a beautiful, textured element to ribbon embroidery projects and is popular for its realistic, layered appearance.

Using perle cotton or floss, form five spokes of even length sharing a single central hole. With the ribbon, come up in the center of the spokes and weave over and under the spokes. Keep the ribbon loose and allow it to twist gently. Continue weaving the ribbon in and out until the spokes are covered.
