Pin Cushions with Pinky!

Pillow Pin Cushion Tutorial by Pinky

Hey there RU friends, 

It's Pinky here today with a step by step tutorial on creating these

little Pillow Pin Cushions that are so handy to have around the house!

Even if you don't sew alot- it's nice to have safety pins or any pins handy. 

With the use of Ribbons Unlimited ribbon you can hang one anywhere!

Trim out 2 fabric pieces in 5"X5".

 Turn right sides in and stitch around edges- 

leaving a 2-3" hole to stuff on one corner.

 Flip Pillow Pin Cushion the right way.

 Stuff (I love to use old pillows for this!). 

 Trim out 6" of Ribbons Unlimited Organdy Sheer Ribbon 5/8" Butter Rum.

 Place in the hole and stitch shut from the outside. 

Hand stitch bow created from

 Ribbons Unlimited Organdy Sheer Ribbon 5/8" Butter Rum.

 Stitch a button in the middle to create pillow effect. 

 Now it's ready to hang or just stick your pins into!

I hope you enjoyed my mini sewing project today- 

Until next time- Keep on creating!

Pinky here today sharing 2 special "LOVE-ly" projects using Ribbons Unlimited

Ribbons. Of course RU is fantastic for any bow or hair ribbon, and also

sewing, but it also adds that perfect touch to all your paper crafting project as well!

For this first project I used the Double Ruffle Red 3/8" Ribbon to 

tie together this special "Be Mine" mini album. 

 This album wouldn't have near as much pop if it wasn't for the ribbon!

And this card using the AMAZING Ombre Gradient Ribbon I cannot

get enough of. I mean WOW! This Ombre ribbon is perfect in Cotton Candy color.

It adds grace and beauty to your Valentine's Cards. 

 Even this solid Double Ruffle White 7/8" Ribbon is the perfect setting for 

the floret in this card. Amazing quality every single time!

Gift Wrapping with Ribbon! with Jamie

Good Morning Ribbons Unlimited Fans!  It's Jamie back with you and today I am sharing a fun gift wrapped in gorgeous Apple Green Organdy Ribbon in 2-3/4" width!  If you haven't worked with this ribbon before, you are in for a real surprise! This ribbon is an unwired ribbon, however, it does have a monofilament edge (sort of like fishing line) sewn in to it to give it extra body...which make it perfect for tying bows!  

Just have a look...

I love how the sheerness of the ribbon allows you to see the decorative paper underneath and of course we all love a bow that is easy to tie that looks this amazing!

Organdy Ribbon Roses by Crystal

Hello Ribbons Unlimited Friends!!

It's Crystal here with a tutorial on how to make roses out of Organdy  2 3/4" size ribbon! Ribbons Unlimited Inc. has a ton of colors so I am sure you will find the right color for your project.  If you follow my blog any at all you know I love making flowers and I will make them from anything that will hold still..lol. Today I am making these roses for hair clips, but again use your imagination as these can be added to anything to doll up your projects.

Lets get started

Take your ribbon and fold back and forth until you have 8 layers square 2-3/4 
(this doesn't have to be exact)

Your ribbon should look like this now...

Find the center and make starter hole with a piercing tool:

Then add a brad to center of the ribbons

Cut each layer apart so they are now single layers

Next make cuts from each corner to the center, do all four sides

Then twist the layers so they are all off-center and use your heat gun and carefully heat the ribbon and it will melt and curl (I use a heat gun and not lighter because the lighter will leave brown or black on light ribbon and with the heat gun you also have more control).  Do this until you have the desired look!

Your completed rose should look similar to this:

Here is the back side of the rose:

I also made a smaller one use half the width (folding it over) and only do 4 layers:

Cut in half and now you have 8 layers, add brad and make your cuts and heat

Here are my 3 flowers! 
Don't you just love how pretty these are? 
This Organdy ribbon has a beautiful shimmer to it...

To finish my flowers, I make loops for the leaves with the lime organdy delight 5/8" ribbon

Then I add felt circles to the back for a more finished look...

TIP ALERT: If you are making these for little baby's with fine hair add some of the No slip sheet  (found by the liners for the kitchen cabinets) to the inside of the clip now the flower will not slip on fine hair!

Now a look at my finished hair clips!
