Are you interested in ribbon bead flowers? This video from BeStitched shows how Jan Ayeroff combines the two for flowers.

Warning:  The video repeats, which is nice if you want to see it all again.  If not, just stop when the tape repeats.  The canvas being taught in the class is Bedazzled Boat Buddies by John Johanssen.  Here's what the whole thing looks like.

A second video has been posted, showing petals made from two passes of a silk ribbon through needlepoint canvas.  These are neat techniques that show just how versatile silk ribbons can be on your canvas.
