Saltire for Crafty Ribbons


Hi Guys,

I am up on the Crafty Ribbons Inspirations site today sharing another ribbon flag.  You may remember I made a Tricolore last year to be displayed at the Paris craft shows Crafty Ribbons attends.  This time I'm sharing a Saltire or St Andrew's Cross.  It was on display at the SECC last year and will be again this year.


For the tricolour I didn't use a pattern but this one was a little more complicated!  I used a spread of kraft paper to mark out my measurements.  You can see a work in progress shot...


I work on the floor as a) I can't drop anything if it's already on the floor and b) I can't fall over and do myself a mischief!!


I have used a huge heap of ribbon - all available at Crafty Ribbons - but far too many for me to link individually.  If there is a particular ribbon you fancy but can't find on their site give me a shout describing the one you are after and I'll find the link.

Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Burns Night if you are celebrating!

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.   ...
