Curly Ribbon With Gwen Designs Studios

 

I love having these ribbons handy in my craft room. 

They are such a lifesaver when adding to a project, party decor, ballons, gift bags, and packaging. 

On this occasion, I decided to use the curly ribbon to make an easy and fast DIY 4th Of July project. 

I hung my project in my craft room as a celebration of the holiday. 

All you need is: 

Gwen Studios Curly Ribbon - Red, White & Blue

Metal Decoration hanger

and Scissors.

That is all!!! 

You will take you less than 30 minutes. So all you have to do is cut up your ribbon at your desired length, remember to leave it longer when curling as it will become a lot shorter. 

You then get 4 or 5 strands of curly ribbon and make a knot to attach them to the metal wire like I did below: 

You add the blue curly ribbon next and you are all DONE! 

Of course, you can add as many ribbons as you like. I kept mine very basic.

You can find all the curly ribbons at your local Walmart and online at Walmart.com

There is a range of popular colors plus holographic and metallic colors to choose from.

 

  Everything looks better with a quick'n EZ touch of curly ribbon!

Summer Fun With Gwen Studios

Hello! 

Can you believe it is Summer already! 

The year just keeps flying by and we have to enjoy it before it is gone right? 

I know I am! It is honestly my favorite season of the year. 

It is also vacation time for us and our perfect vacation always has to have a beach. 

So you know making summer beach projects had to be fun for me. 

They will also be the perfect gift for someone I know.

Let's get started!

You will also need: 

Adhesive

Scissors

A wire circle (or foam)

Fishstars/Seashell 

White cording

Small canvas bag

Flipflops 

To make the lifesaver or wreath:

    * Use burlap trim and go around wire circle.

    * Add adhesive at the end of burlap trim. (I used clips to hold till dry.)

    * Add ribbon in the four corners.

    * Decorate with fish stars.

You can see the finished project below.

This super cute canvas bag I plan to use as a gift cardholder. All I did was adhere ribbon around the handles to make it match other projects. The presentation is everything and I know the person receiving them will love them.

See pic below.

I found these flip flops at local Dollar Tree and I thought they would make a great gift, besides they matched my whole red and white stripe theme, and adding a bow just made them cuter!

DIY Easy St. Patrick's Day Shamrocks With Ribbon

 

The year is flying and can you believe St Patrick's Day is almost here! 

It is that time again to play with my favorite ribbon from Gwen Studios! It is always so much fun to use ribbon in about every project. 

To celebrate St Patrick's Day I decided to make this cute display and add the clover leaves made out of ribbon. I made two different styles as you can see below. 

The material I used are:

I only used the greens from this pack which you can find at Walmart online.

Solid and Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon Pack, 24 Bright Colors, 3/8" x 48 Yards by Gwen Studios

I also used different sizes of satin esmerald green ribbon to make the cloverleaf. You can also find them at Walmart online.

3/8, 5/8 and Emerald Green Double Faced Satin Ribbon

I also used: 

Fabri-Tac Adhesive

Lighter

A thread and needle

Scissors

and straw sticks

So let's get started! 

Cut a piece of ribbon measuring 3.5". 

You can burn the ends to avoid unraveling. 

Do a straight stitch.

Leave extra thread on both ends to bring together and make a knot.

You can burn the edges to give it a little more shape but it is not necessary.

Add your straw stick in the middle.

Cut a small piece of ribbon and attach your three pieces 

Once you have attached the three leaves, 

turn over and add a square piece of ribbon to hold it all in place.

And you are done! 

You can add a center for a little more decoration.

For the next style of shamrock leaves, you can see in the picture below how easy it is.

You cut (2) pieces of 3.5" of ribbon.

You can use the same color or different.

You criss-cross as shown in the picture and adhere down with Fabri-Tac glue.

Make three of them for a shamrock.

Cut to small square pieces to put in front and back 

Then attach together.

You are done! So fast and easy right? 

and your Shamrocks are ready for display.

Romancing the Ribbon - TShirt With Ribbon Roses

 Happy 2022!!!

I love starting the year doing what I love, especially if the outcome is this. 

The perfect gift for a little girl. 😍

Like most of my projects I want it to make it easy but at the same time pretty and meaningful. 

Let me tell you the flowers were the easiest to make. (Pls see link to video below) Just make sure you are using the right ribbon and Gwen Studios has the perfect ones to work with.

Here is a close up of the beautiful flowers I created with the ribbon.

Aren't they pretty?

Let's Get Started: 

I used a toddlers size T2 white Tshirt. 

I used about 10" of each color ribbon. You can add as many flowers as you wish. 

I only used two white, two pink and one red.

I used Fabric Adhesive that is waterproof to adhere flowers down.

Once I followed the easy YT video tutorial to make flowers with Gwen Studios ribbon I lined them up in a straight line and adhere them down.

My perfect little model! 

This project must have taken me less than an hour to complete. 

So I hope you try this!

You can find all the ribbons at Walmart online:

Gwen Studios Pink Sheer Organza Ribbon

Gwen Studios White Sheer Organza Ribbon

Gwen Studios Red Sheer Organza Ribbon

Shirt

 Fabri Tac Adhesive

Yarn Needle
