Hello
Ribbons Unlimited Inc. friends. Recently I went to Ikea for some window
shopping and also to gather some inspirations. Don’t you just love that place?
Anyways I couldn’t resist grabbing a couple of the Tolsby frames. I have seen a
few ideas on altering them on Pinterest and I thought I’d give it a go
myself. So with the help of the Apple
chevron grosgrain ribbon and a fantastic. Dr. Seuss quote, I was able to create
a frame fit for my bookshelf.
Instructions:
1. First off
cut your cardstock to the size of the frame insert. Mine was 4x6. I then added
some thin strips of adhesive on the top and bottom portion of the paper and
adhered the ends of my ribbon.
2. Then I added
some more ribbon, horizontally, in a weaving fashion to create my background. I
moved the ribbons a few times to make sure that they are even all around. After
trimming the excess, I adhered the quote on the center and slipped the paper
into the frame.
3. To add
some “dimension”, I adhered some homemade epoxy dots on the four corners of the
quote on the OUTSIDE of the frame. This allowed me to add some dimension
without adding bulk to the inside of the frame.
4. Then I
tied some satin ribbon into a bow, trimmed the edges and adhered it to the top
of the frame. I adhered the ends of the ribbon to the sides so it didn’t block
the quote from view. I also layered some flowers and added another epoxy dot in
the center for a more finished look.
And here’s some
close ups of the finished frame….
Creating a
ribbon background to any project creates some unique interest and texture. I
hope you’ll give it a go soon.
Happy
Creating,
Grace
