  • Fabric roses and method for the production thereof
    Patent number: 4767650
    Abstract: A method for making fabric roses is disclosed. The method involves inserting a fabric ribbon between two needle devices which are adapted to hold the fabric ribbon. The needle devices are then rotated by means of a variable speed motor, thus rotating the fabric ribbon. As the fabric ribbon portion rotates, a center portion for a rose is produced. The ribbon is then folded numerous times in a direction away from the two needle devices in order to form the petals of a fabric rose. Once the rose is completed, it is removed from the needle devices and finished by heat-sealing the portions of the ribbon that form the base of the rose. Additional decorative items, such as leaves, ribbon loops and lace may be attached to the fabric roses.
