Really Reasonable Ribbon's May Blog Hop!

Happy Thursday everyone! Welcome to our first regular monthly blog hop!! We will be having a blog hop here at Really Reasonable Ribbon on the 13th of each month, so mark your calendars!


Our design team has some great projects for you today. Some of the girls will be showcasing ribbon from our monthly Ribbon Club assortment, and the others will showcase the ribbon of their choice. I am planning on having a project each month on the blog hop too, so look out!! LOL


This month I decided to stick with the pink and brown Ribbon Club color theme to make this flip flop and headband combo.

I used the pink and brown swiss dots from the monthly ribbon club assortment and I added 3/8" pink and dark brown grosgrain for the main parts of the headband and flip flops. I used 7/8" pink and brown swiss dots and dark brown grosgrain for the bows on the flip flops. Both the headband and the flip flops are made using the military weave. For the headband I first covered the 1/2" plastic headband with a woven ribbon pattern so the inside would have a nice finished look. Then I made my military weave using 3/8" ribbons and glued it on the outside of the braided headband with E6000 glue.

For the flip flops I just glued the military braid directly on the plastic straps and then I sewed the bow on to the center front. Because it was summer footwear, I decided to sew the bow on instead of just using glue to give it some extra stability.

I hoped you liked my projects. If anyone is interested in a tutorial for the braided headband or the military weave, just let me know!!

Now on to see the rest of the great projects!!
