So yesterday I had some lovely ribbons delivered from Molly moo's crafty bits & more . They are superb quality and I was definitely inspired! I also had some photo frames arrive yesterday so decided to create some ribbon art!
I started by deciding my design - a Union Jack! First I got a piece of cardboard to fit my frame and made a rough sketch of the design. Using some short pins I started to lay my ribbon out and pinned them down to get the design. Once I had cut all my pieces and pinned them on, I took them off!! By taking them off in layers and setting them on my desk in order it made it easier to secure them back on. I used double sided tape to stick the ribbons on the card. Starting with the 2 styles of blue ribbon, I stuck them into place. Next I did the diagonals, white first, then the red on top. Next for the cross. I secured the white down first then finished with the red ribbon. I finished the piece by trimming the edges and framing. Overall for my first attempt I am pretty pleased :)
