Cheesecloth Ghost by Jamie L.

Hey everyone,

Jamie here with a cute halloween ghost.

The ghost is pretty easy to make and super cute when done. All you need is some black felt, cheese cloth, liquid starch, scissors, hot glue, and 5/8" red wired satin ribbon. You will also need something for a form to sculpt ur ghost (i used a balloon and a vase).

You soak the cheese cloth in the liquid starch than drap it around a form or base to make the shape. Let dry over night. Remove from base/form. Cut eyes out of felt and hot glue into place. Make a bow with your ribbon and hot glue into place. All done!

Thabks for stoppin by and have a great day!

Pumpkins! by Melissa Craig

Good Morning!  Melissa here with a fun project that is cute and so easy to make!

I like Pinterest like a lot of us do.  There are some pretty great ideas on there and it can be a wonderful source of inspiration.  I was just perusing some pictures on there when I came across these pretty pumpkins someone made out of scrap pieces of wood.  You can find it here.  Well, I'm a papercrafter - not a woodcrafter, but I really wanted to make these so I set off to do my version.

Using a cut file by Lori Whitlock for the boxes and the stem from a different cut file, I created my pieces.  Inked the edges with Spiced Marmalade distress ink.  I then glued these boxes together to create my pumpkins.  I found a pretty fall foliage bunch at that Dollar Store that I cut apart to add to the top and then finished off with Double Face Satin Ribbon - Copper.

I love how these turned out and now they look fantastic on my desk at work.  My son saw them and said "those are Minecraft pumpkins!"

Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to visit me at my blog.

Painted Pumpkin with Crystal!

Hello Ribbons Unlimited fans !!

It's Crystal here and today I want to share a fun project using 
Ribbons Unlimited Organdy Ribbon!

I made ta cute pumpkin to put outside my front door to greet my guests .

I painted a pumpkin and added Ribbon and raffia to the top to create

a whimsical pumpkin that you could keep by the door thru Thanksgiving .

To make my pumpkin I used acrylic craft paint and free hand painted the face and leaves onto my pumpkin, no special prep other than wipe the surface clean , you can spray with clear spray paint when you are done but it is not needed (if you are going to paint and sell them spray a clear coat).

After I have her painted up aI added my raffia bow and the made a huge 9 loop bow to the stem, I used 2 3/4" Organdy Ribbon in Blue Mist for her, it added the sparkle I wanted.

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 : )

Finger Treat Boxes with Jamie!

Good Morning!  Jamie with you and today I am sharing Halloween Finger Boxes!  I am absolutely in love with these.  You can put all sorts of goodies in these boxes; handmade munchies, school supplies, crayons, or party treats!  

I am using the Emerald Grosgrain Swiss Dot Ribbon in 7/8" to embellish my boxes with! 

You can find the box tutorial HERE

Here is a quick tutorial for assembling the box details:

1.  Cut out the box and finger pieces.  Fold the box on the score lines and then place adhesive on the side tab and the bottom flap.  Adhere the box sides together and then adhere the bottom flap to the box side.

2.  Adhere the finger details on the finger mat piece as shown.   Place a strip of adhesive on one side of the box.

3.  Adhere the finger on the box, lining up the bottom and centering.

4.  Ink around the edges with a coordinating ink color.

5.  Slightly bend the finger nails.  Continue the steps for the other four boxes.

I love the pop of color the Emerald Grosgrain Swiss Dot Ribbon in 7/8" 

adds to the Skeleton Fingers!

You can find the boxes here:

Not So Scary Hair Bow by Pinky

 Hey friends it's Pinky today with a "Not So Scary" Halloween hair bow. 

Have you seen all the incredible fall colors in Ribbons Unlimited??

They make amazing fall hair bows and so much more!

For this bow I used the French Wired Tangerine Ribbon in 1 1/2" and it was perfect

to shape into the bow I wanted to create. 

 I created a simple bow then placed it on some black tulle.

After that I took an acrylic owl and glittered the back in coordinating

glitter and sealed it using glossy accents. 

Leaving the top side acrylic for a shine. 

I adhered the owl to the bow then added a hair tie. 

I also sealed the ends using fire. 

It's perfect for that not so scary fall look every little girl loves!

Check out all the amazing colors on Ribbons Unlimited.

Spider Bow with Jamie

 Good Morning Ribbons Unlimited, Inc. Fans!  Jamie back with you and today I am sharing a fun tutorial for creating a ribbon spider!  You can use these spiders for hair accessories, to decorate a vase, or even on gifts!  I placed my spider in the center of a bow on a hair tie so that we can use it on a vase and in our hair too!  

For my project I am using the following:

Amethst Princess Glitter Ribbon

3/8" Double Faced Satin Ribbon

Here's the tutorial:

1.  Cut four 8" pieces and one 24" piece of the black satin ribbon.  

2.  Starting with the 24" piece, place a small piece of double-sided adhesive on one end of the ribbon.

3.  Adhere the ribbon to itself making about a 1-1/2" loop.

4.  Roll the ribbon around that loop then add another piece of double-sided adhesive to the end.

5.  Adhere the end in place.  Your loop should look similar to this now.

6.  Gather your four 8" strips together in one line.  Tie them around the loop.

7.  Pull the knot tight and pull the "legs" on each side out.

8.  Separate out the loop to form the body.

9.  Trim the "legs" at angles.  I did the front two in one direction and the back two in the other direction.

10. Next cut a 22" piece of the Princess Glitter Ribbon.  Get your hair tie and a zip tie for your bow if you are using it.

11.  Flip your bow over and place the hair tie on the back.  Feed the zip tie around and include the hair tie in and latch it together.  Fluff out your bow to have equal loops then pull the zip tie tight.

12.  Trim off the back of the zip tie.

13.  Flip your bow back over - it should look similar to this.  Fluff the bow as needed.

14.  Hot glue your spider in place in the center!

Thanks so much for stopping by today
