For each holiday I enjoy making something a little different. This year the Ribbon Retreat asked me to join in and make something from a secret box of goodies. I decided to use ribbon in a not so traditional way. The great thing about this project is you can make it for any holiday using whatever silhouette figure you wish. So here you have a Ribbon Holiday Hoop Decor.
Ribbon Holiday Hoop Supplies
Embroidery hoop
fabric large enough to fit the hoop
felt backing
7 or 8 different ribbons- The length will depend on how large your shape is. Mine were 12 inched each.
Embroidery floss
pom pom fringe
flower of choice
- Pick enough ribbons for your pattern. Pin them onto a large piece of felt. Overlapping slightly. Stitch the ribbon down along the edges.
- Place pattern on ribbon fabric. Pin and Cut.
- Using a match or fire stick burn the edges of your holiday shape. This will keep the ribbon from fraying.
- Place shape onto embroidery hoop. Use a little hot glue to hold the shape in place. Using embroidery floss, stitch around the outer edge of your shape.
5. If your making a bunny add a cute flower as the tail. I used hot glue to add mine but you could stitch it on as well.
Add some pom pom fringe to the outside edge of the embroidery hoop and a bow at the top.
All finished! Use it to hang on a door, wall, or as part of chalkboard art.
The great thing about this project is that you can use it for any holiday. Other shapes you could use:
4 leaf clover, heart, umbrella, flag, pumpkin, bat, turkey, snowman, Christmas tree or stocking,
So tell me, how would you use this tutorial for your holiday decor?
