Yesterday I was asked by one of my lovely customers (Hi Bernie) how I made the bow on THIS CARD. So Bernie, this is how:
1. Cut a piece of ribbon. This one is about 12cm (4 -3/4″) long.
2. Next you need to add a little bit of adhesive to one end. I am using Glue Dots (Available from Stampin Up).
3. Next you need to join the ends together to make a complete circle.
4. Now take another piece of ribbon, this one is about 6cm (2- 1/2″). Stick the 2nd piece of ribbon on the middle of the join. I’ve used another Glue Dot for this.
5. Then you need to start wrapping it around to the other side (which will become the front)
6. Then on the back have another Glue Dot, or more adhesive to stick the other end to. (you could also do this at step 4)
7. Then chop off the excess and you’re done!
This is what the front looks like
and this is the back, that you would stick to your card/scrapbook page/project.
You can get as creative as you like, use 2 different colour ribbons, add a pearl or rhinestone to the centre, use 2 layers insted of 1. Let your imagination go wild!
