Take 1 inch broad satin ribbon with a length of 38 inches. Leave 3 inches in the beginning of the ribbon and using needle and thread stitch an U shape of 3 inchs with running stitch continue for next 9 inches [ means 3 petals ]. Now roll the starting point [ FIRST 3 INCHES ]as u do for regular roses [ just roll without twisting] . After rolling stitch it to the cloth and make sure it should  not come off . Now slowly pull the thread on the running stitch in the satin ribbon. U will see petals forming, stitch it to the roll and cloth one by one forming 3 petals.U will get the first layer...............For  the next layer take 12 inches and follow the same procedure  as first layer with 3 inches U shape running stitch and pull the cod U get 4 petal stitch each to the flower then for the 3rd layer take a length for 15 inches  now U will get 5 petal and complete the rose by stitching it to the cloth U will get the rose. Keep increasing 3 inches for each layer . First decide the layer and proceed the work if the counting goes wrong u will be facing the problem while finishing the rose

In my rose I used a small rose in the middle which I made in separate [its the normal ribbon rose which we make by twisting] and started rolling the first 3 inches over the ribbon rose and continued the above procedure............As this my own method I would appreciate  if anybody has easier method than this can share it too..............

Simple and layered Agar Agar

During Ramdhan fasting we prepare agar agar pudding  as it is good for health..... I usually prepare it with mixing milk to agar agar..... As my son prefers  jelly than agar agar pudding [ for its transparent color ]  I started preparing  agar agar without milk and made it in layers inspired by kuihs here............These pictures were taken on last Ramdhan fasting days...........
