DIY Woven Ribbon Art


Hi there fellow Crafty People. Welcome to my little blog.  I want to share another craft created by my talented daughter Cole. Today, we're hoping we can bring out the artist in you.

Now let's take a look a Cole's DIY Woven Ribbon Art. Then imagine your version of this cute little project.



Materials
  • Canvas wrapped wooden frame in your preferred size
  • Ribbon in your choice of colours and widths
  • Glue or staple gun
You can choose any size canvas that suits the space you intend to hang it in.

Choose ribbon in colours that match items already in the room so that it will coordinate nicely. If you are making it for a bedroom, I suggest you use the bed spread as your colour inspiration.

Cole glued the ribbon but I would prefer to use a staple gun. The staples won't show since you are shooting them in the back of the piece.

We have three completed ribbon covered canvases which look fantastic hanging vertically in a straight line. It fill the space perfectly and looks way to pretty.

Directions

  1. Begin by placing the first ribbon horizontally flush with the front top edge of the canvas.
  2. Staple both ends to the back of the canvas.
  3. Place the second ribbon directly below the first one and staple it down on the back of the canvas.
  4. Continue applying the ribbon horrizontally until the canvas is completely covered.
  5. Now place your first vertical ribbon on the left side of the canvas and staple that end to the back of the canvas.
  6. Weave the ribbon in and out between the horizontal ribbons that you already stapled down
  7. Once you get to the end of the canvas on the right, pull the ribbon around to the back and staple it.
  8. Continue weaving vertical ribbons across your canvas and stapling as you go.
  9. Trim excess ribbon off the back to remove bulk.


This project is the perfect way to personalize a room with coordinating colours on a piece of wall art created by you. 

Are you going to give it a try?

    So cool! I haven't done any woven ribbon anything in a long time, though last fall I did weave some paper strips circa 1st grade style!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.

45+ T-Shirt Refashion Tutorials

Hi, so happy you decided to drop by. Okay, no small talk. Let's get right to the round up. It was a lot of work but I hope you think it was worth it. I tried to choose a variety of sew and no sew projects. Plus there is something for the whole family - sorry, except your hubbies. No offence guys. There just isn't anything out there. Back to the round up. Wondering why I wrote 45+ tutorials?  You probably already know. I didn't. Why would someone write a number then plus. Don't they know how many links they included? I think I finally figured it out. Light bulb! The plus sign is for those blogs that have several t-shirt refashions on their site. Is that right? Oh well that's my guess. Now back to the round up. Sorry one more thing. The links to the original blogs are all listed at the end of the round up. 45+ T-shirt Refashion Tutorials Links to the projects. How To Make a Fashion T-Sh...

DIY Wind Chimes - Recycle Spoons

Image
Hi there. So glad you decided to stop by and check out my DIY wind chimes made from recycled spoons. I had to make something to meet the May Craft Challenge. And I was lucky enough to get all the supplies for under two dollars. Score! Bummer I din't finish it on time. My supplies include six spoons, fishing line, an old candle holder and a clip I had hiding in my stash of goodies. Since I don't have a drill or anything to make holes in the spoons to thread the fishing line through, I had to find a different way to hang my spoons.  If you look at the picture to the left, you can see the spoons are wrapped and tied with the fishing line. I decided to use the candle holder upside down. It just seemed to look better. I tied the spoons to the candle holder - the wind chime base. Then tied the line around the candle holder feet and finally pulled them altogether and tied a knot. If you liked this post, pleas...
