Ribbon Treatment Swatch Book Part 2 May Club Projects

This is a continuation of yesterday's post with five more Ribbon Treatments.  If you haven't seen yesterday's post you can here

We made these little Swatch Books with samples of 10 different ribbon treatments.  Here's the last five.

 

Folded Embellishment

Cut a 3” piece of ribbon.  Place a mini glue dot in the center.  Fold to form a “V”.  Attach the folded piece to back side edge with mini glue dot. Cut the tails at an angle or with a “dove tail”.

Loose Tie

Cut a length of ribbon 2” longer than the project.  Tie a square knot in the center…right over left, then left over right.  Fasten tails to the back side of your project.

 

This is so simple and easy to do at the last minute – especially if you forget or change your mind!!

Fringed Ribbon

Cut a length of ribbon about 3”.  Snip off the “welting” along ONE edge.  Separate strings.  Leave a small piece of UNCUT ribbon at the top.  Attach to project with a glue dot and cover with a small punched piece of CS, brad or button

This was new to me and I love it.   Fun for kids, graduation cards, birthday cards and so many more! 

Here are some close-ups so you can “get the picture” 

Start with about 2 ½ – 3” of ribbon

Using a SHARP pair of scissors (I totally recommend our Craft Scissors 108360, page 180), cut off one side welting (or seam)

Then start “fraying” out the strings until you reach the other side.

Clip off the other “seam” and the hairs left being careful not to cut your frayed ribbon.

You are left with a nice “fringed” embellishment – attach to your project with a mini glue dot and cover the top with a brad, button or punched out flower!!

Card Stock:  Primrose Petals, Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer Paper (124005, page 160), Patio Party Designer Series Paper (126916, page 165)

Ink:  Baja Breeze

Embellishment:  Rose Red ¼” Grosgrain Ribbon (can be done with any ribbon)

Punch:  Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (118309, page 183)

Brad Bow

Pry apart the prongs on your chosen brad.  Cut a 10” length of ribbon.  Fold your ribbon into a loop having the “loop” on the left side and the “tail” on the right.  Bring the “tail” over the “loop” to the left side.  Scrunch up the center of the bow between the brad prongs and bring the prongs over the ribbon.  Adjust as necessary.

This is a quick, easy way to add brads and ribbon.  Just make that first loop and then bring the other side over – scrunch up the center and add your brad (which you have pried apart).  Larger brads with great for thicker ribbon
