Craft - Korker ribbon on a Base

 

Putting Korker ribbons on a base is a nice way of using up the few stragglers you have left over from HERE – it doesn’t take as many korker ribbons to do it this way.  For the base, I cut the ribbons 3” long and they are 3/8” to 1” wide.

 Fold ribbon ends in half.

 

 to cut at this angle to prevent fraying.

 

 

Fold ribbon in half.

 

then wrap the centers of each ribbon piece with thread to form a bow.   Wrap the thread around several times.  Repeat for all the ribbon.

 

 Without pulling the needle through, start stacking the bows in a pleasing manner as we did HERE.  Pull thread thro and secure with a few stitches.  I ended up not using the yellow bows I had made.

 

Measure and cut 6, 3 inch pieces of korker ribbon – this means ribbon that you have curled into a korker style.  Stitch to center of the base.  Trim if necessary.  Seal edges of korker ribbon with a lighter.

 

Attach to a prepared hair clip.  You can find the tutorial to prepare the clip HERE.

SU252 SU! Owl Ghost

My daughter asked if I could help 17, grade 2 students make a Halloween card for their art class.  I am given about a half hour to do this.  Yikes!  Had to come up with something pretty simple and quick!  Mixed a couple ideas from Pinterest and came up with this.

My daughter and grandsons helped me do some of the prep work a couple days earlier.

Double checking the list to make sure I didn’t forget anything!

I did want them to see the Cuttlebug in action so I packed up the machine and the pre cut 3.25” x 1” scraps of black cardstock. They stamped the image and I punched it out.  The ghost and greeting has a mount on the back.

What a hoot we had!  Thanks for having me guys!

Paper: Black, Only Orange, White.

Stamps: Mixed Medley.

Ink: Black.

Accessories: Spider Web EF, glue, Decorative Dots EF, cuttlebug machine, mounts.

Punches: Owl Builder – eyes, nose and heart are all from the Owl Builder, circle scallop.
