ribbon.
It’s gorgeous isn’t it? I love all kinds as it can really change up the look just by changing the ribbon.
I love plain ribbon. Dotted ribbon. Gingham ribbon always makes me happy. Sheer ribbon. Lacey ribbon. And oh that gorgeous silk ribbon! I think it just may be my favorite of them all.
Today for the Ways to Use it Challenge, I’m challenging you to pull out your ribbon and show us some great ways to …well, use it. I hope you’ll join us here.
I’ve had this silk flower idea on my brain for a while. Do you ever have ideas that you just don’t seem to get around to? Today seemed like a great day for a ribbon challenge and also to have fun with this idea.
The silk ribbon flower is created by twisting silk ribbon and adhering it with a glue gun. It looks harder than it really is. Seriously easy. The green “leaves” are just some celery silk ribbon tied in a bow and placed under the rose. I used Mauve Silk Ribbon for this project.
