Crafty Ribbons Christmas Lavender bags

Hey everyone, hope you are well! I am here with some simple gifts to give at Christmas time. I used Crafty Ribbons Nisse Ribbon, fat quarters, felt, lavender and rice. You cut the fabric and ribbon to sew on the sewing machine inside out. You leave a little hole open and then I used a tidy tray to mix lavender and rice together and funnelled it into the little sachets. Lastly you hand sew them shut :)

Crafty Ribbons Summer Memories Hair Bow

Hey everyone, I hope you are well. I am here with a hair ribbon I made with some of my favourite ribbons ever, Tulip fields and Lots a Dots ribbon! As we head towards the season of giving its always a good idea to get ahead with some projects like these so you don't have to experience the stress of crafting at the last minute. That being said who am I kidding...I always end up stressing for that reason! :)

Crafty Ribbons Poppy Wreath

Hey everyone, hope you are well! I am here with a wreath I made using various Crafty Ribbons ribbon. I started by covering the wreath with plain white satin ribbon, then adding Spring Ribbons, Polka Dot Bias binding, All my love ribbon, and Nautical ribbon. I then added cute red buttons from my stash to finish :)

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments! :)

Butterfly Box with felt lining

Hey everyone, I hope you are well! I am here with a gift I made for my friend's special birthday. I found some gorgeous napkins in a supermarket that I couldn't bear to use just wiping up so I decided to use them to cover some plain wooden boxes :)






I put mod podge on the wood then carefully folded the napkin down onto the wood and tapped any air bubbles out gently. I then left it to dry. On the top was a heart shape void. I didn't want to see inside the box from the outside so I found some pretty paper that matched the butterflies and placed it in the top of the lid, then covered this with thick cardstock on the inside for strength. I varnished the outside of the box and the heart cut out with more mod podge and left to dry. I then added a butterfly cut from felt over the heart.
 Lastly I cut panels of felt in a similar colour to the butterflies on the outside and covered the inside.

Crafty Ribbons Nautical Brooches

Good morning everyone, hope you are well! I am here with some Nautical Brooches I made for Crafty Ribbons using Nautical Ribbon and Grosgrain Ribbon. To avoid the bulk of tying bows I folded and glued them and then used a brooch blank on the back :)

Crafty Ribbons Alkaline Trio Only Love Canvas

Hey everyone, hope you are well! I am here to share a canvas I made for a trio friend for our monthly postal swap :) I chose 'Only Love' as my inspiration and I started by creating the lyric quote and framing it with a wooden frame. I then added jute ribbon as a mat for underneath.
I used a stencil for a tree and four different colours of tim holtz distress ink then covered it in fabric mod podge. I then embossed some areas using vintage embossing powder. I used texture paste in the top corner and then stamped over it with a script stamp.

Next I added the lace from Crafty Ribbons and the 'love' wood decoration over the top. I positioned my lyric frame. Lastly I added a trio charm I made using shrink plastic and tiny butterflies I had cut from drink cans.
