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:
.You now have a snazzy gift tag perfect
