Ribbon technique

hi girls!i’ve this quick & simple technique for you!! you are gonna use your ribbon like you’ve never before!! finally getting the best out of all those leftover little pieces of ribbon!! that normally end up in the trash right?First, you’ll need pieces of ribbon (small or/and large) and pieces of chipboard. i’ve used flowers & hearts, but you can use ANY shape or form you like! materials than just choose  the chipboard you want to cover and the pieces of ribbon/fabric you want to use. start laying the ribbon / fabric on the top of the chipboardtechnique_2 just fill it up with the colors you like ;D technique_3  just make sure you cover the complete piece of chipboard, and do it ‘royal’ so leave the ribbon / fabric longer than the width is.technique_4   now it’s time to get your tacky glue, or whatever glue you like to use for ribbon / fabric. remove the pieces of ribbon / fabric and glue all of your chipboard piece.  technique_5 glue all the ribbon / fabric on your chipboard and let it DRY. than turn it over so you see the back.  technique_6  than simply cut around the chipboard form with sharp scissors and tada: a beautiful ribbon / fabric heart :D  technique_10 ofcourse you can use chipboard, but i also love to use other forms. here i used some leftovers from a kid-craf pack for Ruben (yes, my 1,5 year old toddler LOVES to craft too! ha, lucky me!). so these were perfect to use to draw cars! technique_7 simply draw the form, and cut it out…technique_8 repeat the same steps: choose ribbon / fabric, glue it on, turn it around, and cut around the edges.technique_9  and a cool car for the dude…technique_11  like i said: you can use any shape or form. i LOVE flowers.technique_12 and than again: glue it on, turn it around and cut around the edges. a cool flower.technique_13 and if you want to make it stand out even a little more, simply outline it with a black pen!so, show me what you can come up with using this technique! Make sure you post ‘m in the gallery!love and have a splashing New Year!revlie
