Hello Ribbon Fans! DeeDee here today and I’m sharing a vintage inspired ornament!
- Cut two one inch circles from the music sheet paper, and one half inch circle from the white cardstock.
- Distress the music sheet circles and the wooden spool
- Use one music sheet circle as an anchor on the top of the spool.
- Thread burlap twine through vintage button and attach to top of spool.
- Create bead dangles using beads and findings.
- Attach bead dangles to second music sheet circle.
- Glue to bottom of spool.
- Wrap satin ribbon around spool, layer box pleat on top.
- Create flower from box pleat, and attach it to the spool! Done!
To create your flower watch this short video:
Now get to creating ornaments for your tree! I’m a huge fan of vintage and upcycled bits in crafting. Insert ribbon and viola! A beautiful natural vintage inspired tree.
