A Handy Note Book







Here is a little notebook I ribbon-ified.  It was featured on Ali's Hello Wednesday series over at Crafty Ribbons but I've just found this post in my drafts - I forgot to share it here!  The note book was a blank from the Craft Barn. 




I added a ribbon page marker by taping some 3mm up the spine of the notebook.


 

I did a little bit of ribbon weaving on a rectangle of card securing the ribbons at the back with tape.


 


I then attached the rectangle to the front et voilà!

I used:
metallic edge 3mm
cotton ribbon
satin ribbon
velvet saddlestitch
ric rac

and I had a tonne of fun!

Thanks for stopping by today - and if you take the time to leave a comment, thank you a tonne, they brighten my day :)

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.   ...

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...
