Using an 18 inch flat styrofoam wreath form I used more than 40 yards of ribbon, beautiful orange and blue ribbon, to create this wreath. That’s over 350 hand-cut pieces of 4 inch long ribbon, sewn into 2 inch long loops, and then individually hot glued into place. There are no short cuts for this wreath that can have the same results.

And because the wreath wasn’t enough I created a multi-layered add-on pin to really hit the point across.

Sometimes you really need to be willing to give up a couple finger prints in order to get the wreath you want.

I think my door looks complete for football season now.

And there is no doubt with this wreath hanging up that In All Kinds of Weather I LOVE Florida Football!

I usually shy away from using too much glitter ribbon in a wreath but when I saw the great colors Hobby Lobby had in glitter ribbon I just couldn’t resist. And really, if any wreath could use a little extra glitter, it’s a Mardi Gras wreath.

Dump all the fun stickers and embellishments on the table and let your kiddos get to work!

The best part about getting to decorate your own box of Kleenex is that there are FOUR canvases per box!!

We used some letter stickers to “write” each person’s name on their box but as you can see we all came up with very different boxes so it won’t be too hard to know whose is whose.

Of course I covered one side of mine in ribbon, you totally knew that was going to happen, right?

Little Miss MuffetSat on a tuffet (that was probably hot pink velour with rhinestone button tuffs),Eating her curds and whey (no way!);Along came a (hot pink glittered) spider,Who sat down beside her (hey girl!)And frightened Miss Muffet away.If Miss Muffet wasn’t such a scaredy pants and took the time to get to know miss glitter spider she would have discovered how Glamtastic and Spookalicious she is. Oh well, Miss Muffet’s loss is our gain!

 I wanted to make a Halloween wreath that was more Glam than spooky and think I accomplished that with this color palette. Hot Pink, Purple, Lime Green, and Black – I am LOVING it!

It’s definitely spookalicious and glamtastic but I thought it needed a little more.

So I added a spiderweb that is cut out from purple glitter cardstock, but it needed more.

So I glittered a giant rubber spider, of course.Fun and easy tutorial on glittering you own spider coming soon!

Supplies:

Simply trace your object onto your cork tile. Use an exacto knife or scissors to cut out the cork board. Follow the directions on the bottle of contact cement to glue your 2 shapes together. Badda Bing, Badda Boom – you’re done! A couple optional steps you can take are to attach ribbon to the back of your chipboard and to edge your cork in twine or skinny ribbon.

 Now I have a place to pin up inspiration, business cards, little things I can’t seem to toss out but serve no purpose.

I used a little contact cement to help me outline my cork in twine, I thought it gave it a more finished look, but it’s not necessary.

The supplies for this project are simple (I happened to have them all on hand but that’s because I am a craft hoarder).

• White or light colored grosgrain ribbon
• printable heat transfer paper for light fabrics
• a computer and printer
• Iron
• Paper trimmer or scissors and a steady hand

Open up your favorite designing software on your computer (even if it’s just MS Powerpoint or MS Paint). Create the image and text you want on your ribbon in real size meaning, measure your ribbon width and draw a rectangle in your design software to mimic the size of your ribbon. Then type in that rectangle, add graphics, clip art, monograms, whatever you want to “print” on your ribbon. Remember that this is normal 8.5″ x11″ paper, and you’ll need room for borders if you don’t have borderless printing options on your printer, so keep your design in according to those dimensions. My pieces of ribbon were 6″ long and my ribbon was .75″ wide so I drew a rectangle of those dimensions and designed my Southern Craft Academy graphics to size. I was able to fit 11 strips on 1 sheet of paper.

**Most Important Part** You must FLIP your design before you print it. Some printers will do this automatically for you if you select Iron-On Transfer as your type of Paper, but PLEASE check out the preview of your page BEFORE you print to make sure everything is backwards!!

Using your paper trimmer (mine is REALLY dirty from 8 years of use), cut out your strips of transfer paper to the exact size of your ribbon. The reason to make them the exact size instead of trimming off those blank edges is that the transfer paper & process will discolor your ribbon slightly, using the exact dimensions will make the entire ribbon look the same color.

If you are doing this process to a long stretch of ribbon simple but the edges together of your transfer papers.

You’ll want to do these next steps on a table or other hard surface protected by a towel (thus the weird texture background in these photos). An ironing board just doesn’t give you the resistance you need.

Line your transfer paper up on top of you ribbon, printed side down.

According to the package direction iron the paper onto the ribbon.

Once the paper/ribbon has cooled, slowly peel back the paper.

BAM! You’ve got yourself some custom ribbon!!

Or maybe you have a BUNCH of custom ribbons!
