August Blog Hop WINNER!!

This is the second post of the day. Be sure to scroll down to see the beautiful project that Connie has made for us today.

Thank you so much for hopping along with us this month on the Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings Blog Hop. We had so much fun and we hope you did too!! We'll be hopping on the 13th of each month, so be sure to mark your calendars and join us again next month.

Thanks so much for all the comments about ribbon width.  It looks like most of you are using 3/8" and 5/8" widths.  But fear not, we will continue to carry a HUGE variety of styles and widths.  I will keep my eye out for more new styles in those preferred widths though.

Now, on to our winner who will receive the August Ribbon Club Assortment shown here which is still available at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

The winner will have 48 hours to contact me by clicking on the contact button at the top of the blog and sending me your full name and shipping address.

Congratulations Scrappy Rat!

5/8ths is the most common, but I'm definitely not averse to using 1" ribbon either. :) Anything too thin, though, and it's a pain to try to find an adhesive for.
Enjoyed the hop. Thanks!

**NOTE**  Really Reasonable Ribbon does carry a variety of widths of Scor-Tape, and the 1/8" width is wonderful for adhering those narrow ribbons!

Now if you didn't win, don't worry!! We will be 'hopping' each month so you'll have another chance to win soon! We hope you stop by and visit our blog often.

Be sure to check out our current challenge here. We'd love to have you play along with us.

Have a super day!

Frilly Crochet Lace!

I have an all around frilly card for you today! What better ribbon to use on a frilly card, then some crochet ribbon. Here I have used some Abigail White Crochet Lace from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store! There are all sorts of Crochet lace to chose from in the store, so head on over and give it a look!

The wonderful Scripture and flower frame image is newly released from Our Daily Bread Designs. I colored the image with copics, cut it out with a labels 18 nestabilities, and then sprayed it with some pink glimmermist! The DP is from Basic Grey, the flowers and gems are from Zva Creative, and to finish off the card, I added a pearl stick pin.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a great day!

Ribbon Wreath

Well, I did do a video tutorial for the woven headbands, but I can't seem to get it to load.   As I work out the bugs, I am going to leave you with this simple tutorial for a SUPER CUTE ribbon Wreath!*********************So, this summer, I did a little bit of sprucing up in my daughters' room.  It went from Disney princess to Pink and Brown Patterns.  I was able to keep the paint the same since it was pink, but I did change out curtains, comforters, and a few minor other things to remove any trace of Disney Princess...as my two girls are growing up! One thing I wanted to do to "Mark their Territory" was to put a wreath on the outside of their bedroom door.  I had seen many ideas, but the one that I liked the most, and the one the girls AGREED on was the pink and brown ribbon wreath...

It was so easy, the girls could do it them selves!  Actually, they DID tie on a few of the ribbons themselves!
For this wreath, all you need is a wire floral wreathLots of ribbon scraps cut in 6-8 inch lengthsscissors
I used a huge variety of pinks, browns, creams, and tans in all different sizes and styles possible.

Once I had a substantial amount of ribbons pre-cut, it was time to start tying them to the wreath base. 

All I did is double knot the ribbons and go on to the next one...

Keep adding and tying and trimming ribbons, filing up your wire wreath and filling in bare spots.

When you are done you will have a complete wreath made of ribbons!

I did not heat seal the ends, because I wanted the frayed look.

You can seal them, however, if you choose to.  

When I was done, I wanted to add the sign 

"No Boys"

I used a wooden plaque that I have had stashed away for YEARS.

I added some  foam thickers, buttons, a rose and some twin to it to spruce it up a bit. 

Now, it hangs proudly on the door to my daughters' bedroom!

Some of the ribbons I used in this wreath are:

1 1/2 inch Azeala grosgrain

3/8 inch pink/navy striped grosgrain

1 1/2 inch pink grosgrain w brown circus dots

7/8 inch sweethearts ribbon

7/8 random pink/brown dots

7/8 & 1 1/2 inch bright pink double ruffle satin 

1 inch brown satin

1 1/2 inch brown w/pink dots

Penolope crochet lace

Ivory satin double ruffle

I am sure there are many other sizes, styles, and patterns...but you get the idea.

I just used a bunch of ribbon scraps and created a gorgeous decoration for my home!

Thanks for visiting us!  

Have a great day!
