A great idea for a craft Project!

So I am sharing it with all of you

Today I am personally posting :)

My gift to You is a post on

Which is also a part of the Scrapbook Steals Blog Hop
If you aren't familiar with Scrapbook Steals, it's a scrapbook site that offers twice a daily scrapbook steals (discounted product) for a great price. They have some of the coolest scrapbook supplies on their site. Check them out HERE

I buy items from this company all the time to make a lot of my fantastic projects.

I want to show you how to take 4 different rolls of ribbon (I'm using

American Crafts Everyday Ribbons) and make 2 different, make that 4 projects.

and to top it off not only are they useful but work for christmas time.

My 1st project - which is actually a 3 in 1.

 

Supplies

• Solid Black American Craft Ribbon
• Turquoise Chevron American Craft Ribbon
• String of 16 bells (found at the dollar store)
• hot glue gun & glue
• buttons
• scissors
• turquoise paint
• paintbrush

 

Here is how you make it:

• Cut both the black & turquoise ribbon into 8 even pieces (each)
• Tie a bow on each bell, alternating the colors
• add a button to the middle of each bows (I alternated white and turquoise buttons on this step)
• the bells on my string we're gold and silver so I then painted the gold ones turquoise
• now your done.

 

What you can now do with this:

• I added some more black ribbon to each end of the strand and tada you now have a unique jingly necklace. 
• The second way to use this is to hang it on your doorknob and now you have a door bell.
• Third, which is my favorite, is to hang it on the back of a chair and now you have festive chair decor.

 

My 2nd Project is: a Gift Tag

Now for the green and pink. your probably wondering how is she going to add pink into christmas. easy peesy. I made a festive gift tag. christmas doesn't always have to be green & red. The more colors the better.

 

 

Supplies:

• Green American Crafts Ribbon
• Pink American Crafts Ribbon
• Cardstock
• Scissors
• Embellisment
• Glue
• Gem
• decorative scissors
• hole punch

 

How to:

• cut a piece of cardstock 3" x 8" (you can change this)
• fold the cardstock in half
• cut 3 pieces of 3" pieces of ribbon & glue to front of card
• cut 1 piece of ribbon 6 1/8", wrap this around the front & glue on the backside
• cut a couple more small pieces of ribbon to add under the snowflake
• apply the snowflake to the small pieces & top off with gem
• cut the bottom of the top flap with decorate scissors
• punch a hole in one of the top corners for ribbon
• End by writing in the inside of the card To: & From:
