Easter Blog Hop with Crafty Ribbons

Hello and wecome to Crafty Ribbon's Easter Bonnet Parade!! You should have arrived via MARIANNE's blog. If you have stumbled across this blog hop and want to start at the beginning pop over to CRAFTY RIBBONS.

Here is my miniature Easter bonnet!

I went with the traditional Easter colour palette of yellows. The structure of the hat is made from card and the rim from Clermont lace.

I made a few ribbon roses to decorate the lace brim.

I made this bonnet using Swiss Dots, Organza Swiss Dots and Clermont Lace all from Crafty Ribbons.

To take part in our EASTER PARADE you will need to visit our DT members' blogs and leave a comment on the DT creations which they have made for the parade. There is also an egg sitting on a few of the girls blogs which you will need to take note of and then link up on that days post. and tell us on whose blog you found the egg. If you take part every day and linkup with the correct name on each day, you have extra chances of winning in the random draw from all three days. If you only want to join in one day that's fine too!!

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!

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. ...
