JOY Gingerbread Banner by Pinky

Hey friends, 

it's Pinky again with another holiday craft idea using Ribbons Unlimited. 

This JOY Gingerbread banner is perfect to use RU Sheer Ribbon!

The sheer ribbon comes in all sizes too, you'll find the size for any project. 

 For this project I took a clear acrylic banner and decorated it using

a Snow Writer for the frosting and patterned paper.

 Then I added more glitter and patterned paper. 

 Then I tied it together using Ribbons Unlimited Sheer Ribbon in 1 1/2". 

After I tied it together I created 4 bows, and glued them onto the places I tied. 

If you add the bows after you tie it together then they won't twist and turn on the banner, 

they stay upright. Just a dab of hot glue to ensure placement!

This would be amazing on the tree, on the wall, or even as a photo prop!

Gift Box by Crystal

Hello Ribbons Unlimited Inc Fans!

It's Crystal here with another project using ribbon from Ribbons Unlimited Inc.   
The ribbon I am using 5/8" Delight Ribbon in Moss.

Today the project I am making is a gift box that Business card will fit or treats.

The die I am using is from Sizzix called Business Card Box

Tip:  I trace the cut lines with a White Sharpie so you can see where to lay your card stock

fold on score lines

for this box I assembled using brads

I add score tape to the lid flap and add some crochet lace

close the flap and add my 5/8" Delight Ribbon in Moss 

You can see here I laid my biz card by the box so you could see the size , they are 1/4 " thick,  a cute size for several gifts. I think I will use mine to gift a pair of earrings that I made.

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 : )

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 : )

Layering Ribbons with Jamie Cripps

 Happy Friday!  Jamie with you again today to share an easy layering tutorial that will change the look of your projects quickly!  

Let's start by showing you my before photo...

And now my after...

The ribbon adds a pop of color and really brings interest to the overall project!

The best part is that it really only took a few minutes to do!

Here is the tutorial:

1.  Cut the Four Seasons Wired Black 1-1/2" wide ribbon to your desired length then cut 5/8" wide Lime Delight Ribbon to the same length.

2.  Place a strip of adhesive tape in the center of the widest ribbon for the full length.  Remove the adhesive backing from the tape and then adhere your thinner ribbon to the center as shown.

3.  Punch a hole on each side of the tray and then push the ribbon through one end and tie a knot on the inside of the tray.  Push the ribbon through the other end to form a handle and knot in the same manner.

4.  Cut two strips of the thinner ribbon and tie around the handle on each side in a bow.

Super cute and super easy!

This layering would work for making bows of all sorts as well!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Weaving together a beautiful card by Christine

Happy October Everyone!  Christine, back with you today, sharing another weaving card!  I promised last week I would show you one that is different and I am here to do just that!

Last week I used the a wide white organdy but this week I used a Delight Satin Edge Ribbon in black that is just 5/8" wide.  It is a little more challenging to weave and keep things straight...but in the end it worked!

If you look closely you can see that I used it in my circle.  

To create this look, I traced almost a whole circle on the edge of my card and cut that out.  I weaved my ribbon onto a rectangle piece of black cardstock that would fit behind the circle.  Once done, I attached it with strong wet adhesive and set in under a book to flatten it out.

This technique is fairly new to me, especially with ribbon, but is one that I plan to use again to add texture and sophistication to my projects!  

Ribbons Unlimited Supplies Used:

Delight Satin Edge Ribbon
