How to make flowers/bows from silk material?

A question about : How to make flowers/bows from silk material?

Hi, I've brought lots of silk (well fake silk) with the plan to make fabric bows and flowers to decorate Christmas presents with, only it don't know how! I thought YouTube would be a big help but it just finds silk ribbon flowers and bows.

I don't have a sewing machine so I can't hem things. Has anyone made flowers, bows or any kind of decoration from silky material?

Thanks

  It's an American blogger but it has some really great ideas on there.
• I'm not very experienced with these things, but if you have an easy fraying fabric, you may want to consider applying some iron-on interfacing before starting to cut etc. You can get this from dress-making shops. Choose the weight (light, medium, heavy), depending on how much you'd like your fabric to be stiffened by the facing - or not, as the case may be.
