Advent - Day 13








Here is a little hanging decoration that I made for today's Advent Celebration at Crafty Ribbons Inspiration



I've used the Vintage Christmas range that is exclusive to Crafty Ribbons.  When I want to fussy cut ribbon to layer like this I use gel medium to stick it to very thin paper.  This stops the majority of the fraying.  Also when I have cut the design out I go around the edge with a little matte medium to seal any fibers that might try and 'fluff out' the edges!




I think this range of ribbons is my favourite - I just love the colours :)

    Gorgeous card. I came over because I thought you had used a fancy folding technique. It looks so lovely. Thanks for the tips on preventing fraying. I can tie a good bow now, woo hoo, but always have trouble when I cut the ends. Will try your tips. Love that ribbon. Must check it out.....

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
