Making a brooch.
The decoration consists of two separate pieces, a spikelet and a loop. First you need to make a three-color spikelet. To do this, you will need satin ribbons in three shades: blue, white and red.
From these ribbons you should prepare segments, each 5.5 cm long. As a result, you will get 7 parts: 2 blue, 2 red and 3 white.

Now you need to make blanks from each segment. To do this, the rectangular part should be placed with the wrong side up and bent exactly in the center at an angle of 45 degrees.

You will get a small fold line, which also needs to be folded in half. As a result, the cut lines of this segment will connect at one point, and the part will turn out to be double with a pointed corner at the top.

The edge of the tape must be cut a little with scissors to align it. Then the cut needs to be strongly scorched with fire in order to solder the layers of tape and secure the edge of the part in the desired position.
