You're Special Too


Challenge time over at Crafty Ribbons...
This weeks theme - Anything Goes WITH Ribbon...




This week I'm meeting up with a couple of friends to celebrate a double birthday.  Because we all have ME we have to plan things thoroughly.  In order to spend our actually birthdays (27th & 28th) with our families we must meet up the week before to allow recovery time - nothing worse than being too tired to move on our birthday!  Because there are three of us and only two of us are birthday girls I always feel a little sad for the one with no presents!  This year I got a little something for him too, and explained it on the tag...


All of the ribbons I used are from packs but you can get them individually too.  The packs are the best way to buy if you want meter lengths to wrap presents...


Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to link up anything you make this week that has ribbon on...

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.   ...
