Tutorial: Ribbon Brooches

Today I am going to show you a super easy way to create very pretty little ribbon brooches.  These were inspired by military awards, of all things!  I like how the folded ribbon on the top creates the ‘hanger’ for the decorative pieces and displays so beautifully!

Supplies:

 

Begin by cutting the ribbon to about 5” in length for each brooch.  I created three.  Fold in half and trim the open end to a point.

Ribbon Brooches Step 1Use a few stitches to secure the ends together and then stitch on the trinkets and/or charms you have chosen.

Ribbon Brooches Step 2Attach safety pins to back of ribbon toward the top.  I chose to use safety pins to allow for a bit of choice in where and how it is pinned vs. using a pin back that would have to be sewn on permanently. 

Ribbon Brooches step 3And now you have three beautiful brooches in no time at all!  Thanks for joining me for this tutorial today!  You can see more of my work on my blog, Just Jingle!  Thanks!
