·        Punch a 1/8” hole in the center top of each flower petal.

·        Cut 12” of grosgrain ribbon. 

·        Overlap the two petals next to the V.  Thread ribbon through the 1/8” holes.

·        Continue to thread ribbon, from the outside to the inside, in each of the holes and tighten the ribbon to create a round strawberry.  Tie off ribbon.

·        Punch out one five petal flower from Old Olive card stock.  Punch two 1/8” holes in the top.  Thread strawberry ribbon up through the holes and tie again.  ENJOY YOUR STRAWBERRY!  UMMMMMMMMM!

How about threading a label onto the ribbon and use as "place cards" for a luncheon? Can see many applications for these darling "treats"... Thanks for taking the time to demo for us, great job, SE!!
