Ribbon Winter Wreath by Grace

 Hello ribbon friends. Today I’d like to share with you a very fun way to showcase some of your favorite trims in a home décor project. Winter is just around the corner and so why not celebrate it with a winter themed wreath. The best part of this project is it doesn’t need adhesive.

Instructions:

Gather your supplies. Because this is a winter themed project, I pulled mostly blue trims with the exception of the Dazzle Ivory and the Edinburgh trim. I didn’t want it to look so monotonous so I added those two to spice it up a bit. I also used different shades of blue so my wreath wouldn’t look too predictable. 

Plan a pattern of the ribbons on your wreath and start tying them down. I used a double knot on the project to make sure that my trims won’t unravel on me. 

Repeat the process until you’ve reached your pattern. Once you’re pleased with the pattern, repeat it until you have filled up the entire wreath with ribbon. This might take a while. I did this project while watching some TV. 

Once you’ve filled up your wreath with ribbon, Cut a 12” ribbon (of your choice) wrap around the wreath and tie the ends. Add a bow on one side and this will be your piece that will allow you to hang up your wreath. 

And here are some more details of my project….

I really liked how this turned out. The cuts are all different lending to a homemade feel plus the colors will definitely bring cheer to those cold wintery days ahead of us.

If you have scraps, like I did, make sure to save them for other crafty projects such as what I did with the cards I shared earlier this month.

Thank you for stopping by.

Be Merry Dazzling Cards by Pinky

Hey again, Happy Holidays from Pinky!

It's that time of year, the time to create cards and use that glitter.

How beautiful is the Dazzle Ribbon line from Ribbons Unlimited? 

Perfect for cards and so much more. 

 For this card I used a card stock base at 3.5X6, then added an acrylic front. 

In order to add the acrylic front I needed to use a stripe of glue,

the Ribbons Unlimited Dazzle Ribbon is perfect for covering that stripe

of glue. Adding the bow above the sentiment image was just for fun!

This ribbon is strong, and works well on any project from cards 

to hair bows, sewing and more. 

The glittered side is beautiful and adds holiday fun.
