Americana Onesie and Headband by Crystal

Hello Ribbons Unlimited Fans!

It's Crystal here with a fun project for the 4th of July and all year-long. Today I made a Americana onesie and matching headband.  Ribbons Unlimited has beautiful ribbon and excellent quality at an awesome price, go visit the store and take a look around.

Let's get started.  First I trace the onesie onto chipboard and then cut it out.  
This will go inside your shirt so the glue does not bleed through.

Insert the chipboard into the shirt from the bottom

Next I select my ribbon of choice and decide my layout before I glue down.

I am using 3/8" double ruffle in Red  and

5/8" Delight ribbon in Navy Blue

I cut 3 pieces at 4 1/2" and 3 pieces at 3 " from double ruffle red.  
The Navy bow is  made with Delight ribbon.

I am using Beacon Fabri-tac permanent adhesive

I added Martha Stewart white gold glitter glue to make faux stars on my Navy Blue.

I add a line of glue to the back of the ribbon and adhere to the shirt.

I decided to add glitter fireworks around the flag for some more sparkle.

for my headband I layered

5/8" Delight ribbon in Navy Blue,

5/8" Dazzle ribbon in White,

 3/8" double ruffle in Red

I added some curly ostrich feathers in white , the base is a white with silver fleck stretch headband and added white felt to the back side to adhere to the headband.

I think this is such a cute set and I hope it has inspired you to browse the Ribbons Unlimited Inc. store  and get some ribbon for your next project!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Leave me some feed back if you loved this project, I love hearing from my scrappy computer friends who love getting crafty : )
