May 9 is one of the happiest and most joyful days for our compatriots. After all, on this day our country got rid of fascist power, defeated Germany and returned such long-awaited peace and tranquility to the space of the Soviet Union. The symbol of victory is the St. George ribbon, by wearing which we express our gratitude and respect to those people who defended our country many years ago. The St. George ribbon is not just a piece of fabric, it is a symbol of victory, which also needs to be worn appropriately. After all, she expresses the entire spectrum of experienced emotions and memories. It is customary to tie it on Victory Day, symbolizing recognition and love for the homeland.
How to beautifully make a St. George ribbon in kanzashi style?
Of course, the most popular method of decoration is the kanzashi technique, which came to us from Japan and immediately won our hearts.
Therefore, I propose to design our symbolic strip in this style. We will make a tender spikelet.
You will need:
- St. George Ribbon;
- satin ribbons in black and orange, matching the tone;
- tweezers;
- black beads for decoration;
- glue, you can use a hot glue gun;
- scissors;
- lighter, candle or small gas burner.
Work process:
1. Take satin ribbons and cut them into squares with a side of 5 cm. In total, you need to make 7 squares from black ribbon and 14 from orange. Treat the edges with flame to prevent them from unraveling in the future.
2. Take an orange square and bend it diagonally.
3. Fold the resulting triangle again, forming a sharp-shaped petal. Fix the element with tweezers.
4. Now trim the edge with scissors and flame it. Next, take the workpiece lengthwise with tweezers, cut off the bottom side, and treat it again with a flame.
Make 13 more orange petals in the same way.
5. Take a black square and fold it diagonally. Take the orange petal and wrap it in a black triangle. And on top of the black element, place another orange petal. You should have a piece made from three layers of satin ribbons.
6. Trim the bottom and flame until all edges meet each other.
7. Repeat with other black squares and orange blanks. You should end up with seven sharp petals. Collect them into a beautiful spikelet, securing the petals to each other with hot glue. And form the central line from decorative black beads.
8. Take the St. George ribbon and make a loop out of it. Glue a spikelet on top of it.
You can make a fastening element at the back and you will get a brooch, or you can decorate a gift with such a product.

It has long been known that such a ribbon denotes two states, death and resurrection, or rather these two colors, orange and black.

How to make a St. George ribbon from beads
The great holiday Victory Day, which is celebrated annually on May 9 not only in Russia, but also in many countries around the world, is the greatest day for everyone. On this day, the memory of the fallen soldiers who defended the country from fascist troops is honored. An integral symbol of Victory Day is the St. George's ribbon, which with its color means smoke and flame. It was awarded to warriors for bravery and loyalty. We invite you to weave a St. George ribbon from beads for the Great Victory Day.
Beautiful bead decoration
Making your own St. George ribbon from beads in the form of a bracelet is a great idea for someone who wants to emphasize their individuality.
For weaving we need: • Beads. Black and orange glossy, silver metallic. Bead size 10/0. • Needle for working with beads. • A thread. • Scissors. • Clasp for bracelet.
Agree, bead weaving is a good meditation. At the very beginning, we secure the silver bead by passing the thread several times with a needle through the hole. Leave 10 cm of thread.
We string 9 more beads of the same color.
We thread a needle with a bead into the 9th bead of the formed first row. The thread needs to be tightened.
We repeat the steps for 7 and 5 beads of the first row. The thread needs to be tightened every time.
We weave to the end of the row. If you do not tighten the thread, the beads will dangle and the geometric shapes of the product will be disrupted. We tighten the thread every time.
Take the next silver piece and repeat for row 3.
We weave the fourth row with colored beads according to the diagram. Black, orange, then repeat the alternation again and finish with a black bead at the end.
We weave the fifth row similar to the previous one.
We weave repeating the order of beads similar to the previous rows. For a bracelet, the number of rows should correspond to the size of the hand. For example, if the diameter of the wrist is 15 cm, then we weave five fragments (between the white stripes), plus the beginning and end of the bracelet. The length of one fragment is about 2.5 cm.
We fasten the clasp by hiding the ends of the threads.
To make the bracelet wavy, we pass the thread along the diagonals as shown in the diagram.
We get this beautiful handmade St. George ribbon.
DIY St. George ribbon ideas
The St. George ribbon appeared long before such an event as the Great Patriotic War (WWII) of 1941, with which we associate the Great Victory Day - May 9, on which it is customary to wear a ribbon.
The orange and yellow symbol is pinned onto clothing, worn as a patch, or used as decoration on vehicles during the May holidays. It is at this time that Victory Day falls. People who wear such a ribbon keep the memory of the fallen and surviving soldiers of the Patriotic War. In fact, the St. George Ribbon was a valuable reward for participation in hostilities, which took place before 1941. Therefore, it is worth taking into account the earlier merits of soldiers.
Over time, the St. George Ribbon has undergone changes. Now it looks like a brooch, but previously it was worn as a separate award over the shoulder. The length of the tape has become shorter and the width much narrower, but the color still remains yellow and black. This color refers to the Russian coat of arms, which depicts a black eagle on a gold background.
Brooch or medal for Victory Day: making commemorative symbols with your own hands

Victory Day is celebrated not only by veterans of the Great Patriotic War. This is a holiday for everyone - children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The St. George ribbon, which is attached to clothing to express gratitude to veterans, has already become a traditional holiday attribute on May 9th.
But how can you turn a simple St. George’s ribbon into a beautiful accessory corresponding to the symbolism of the holiday - for example, a brooch or a pendant in the form of a medal? Birobidzhan needlewoman Ekaterina Gunkova tells readers of the news agency EAOMedia about this.
To make a brooch or pendant using the kanzashi technique you will need: a St. George ribbon, satin ribbons 4-5 cm wide in orange and black, a middle cap for kanzashi, a paper picture matching the size of the cap, glue, scissors, tweezers, a lighter or candle, cardboard , a piece of felt, optional accessories (brooch pin, bead, pins, wire rings).
Basic materials. Ekaterina Gunkova
Progress:
1. Assemble the middle of the brooch. We find a thematic picture on the Internet and adjust it in size to the middle cap for brooches and kanzashi hairpins purchased in craft stores.
We print the picture on the printer and attach it to the lid using glue. You can stick an epoxy layer on top (it is sold in the same hobby stores) to make the middle look more noble.
If it is difficult to find such a cap, you can use a beautiful cabochon or badge.

2. Cut into squares from orange and black satin ribbon. We will make 8 petals from them. To do this, fold the square diagonally. We bend the corners of the triangle to the top as shown in the photo.

3. Cut off the tip of the petal by 0.5 cm and solder it with a lighter.

4. We make other petals in a similar way. There should be 16-18 of them in total (8/9 black and the same number of orange).

5. We insert one petal into the other, having first dropped a drop of glue on the edge of the petal that should be inside.

9. Or you can make a pendant in the form of a medal from such a brooch. We take a piece of St. George's ribbon 13 cm long and 2 cm wide. Cut out a template from cardboard in the form of a pentagon, where the top part is 3 cm long, the side part is 4 cm, and the bottom is 2.5 cm.

10. Glue the St. George ribbon to the cardboard pentagon, as shown in the photo.

11. In a way convenient for you, attach the pendant to its upper part; for me these are two rings attached to both parts of the pendant and connected to each other by a wire-pin on which the bead is located. A satin ribbon is attached to the top, on which the entire pendant should hang. I found a chain to this place.

That's it, the pendant is ready!
