Full Blooms!

-oOo-

I was lucky enough again to be chosen to take part in another

Ribbon challenge over at Crafty Ribbons

Ribbon Challenge #15

-oOo-

..and this is what the lovely Ali

from Crafty Ribbons sent me to play with...

..the new range of 'Full Bloom' ribbons

Now my task was to create a couple of crafting projects with the ribbons provided.....

-oOo-

Ribbon Project 1

'Full Bloom corsage'

Using 2 of the ribbons, I made a pretty corsage.

by sewing a running stitch along the edges of both lengths of ribbon (separately!!)

Pull the thread

&

Gather up the the ribbon

to create ruffles.

Then place one ruffled ribbon on top of the other.

I've singed the edge of the larger (outside) ribbon with a candle

(see tips on singeing ribbon flowers and other fab ribbon tutorials on the Crafty ribbons Blog)

Add a button to the front centre...

....and a little safety pin on the back

and Hey Presto!.....

A little Summery Ribbon Corsage to brighten up a plain ol' jacket!
