Wreaths

I found a lovely idea to copy while at Stamp Magic at Doncaster last weekend. Well lots of ideas really but this one has been useful to make gifts for Christmas.
On the Inkydoodles stand I saw some wire rings and wooden die cuts, Birdhouses, hearts, birds and flowers.
Sarah had created wreaths with knotted ribbon and added the wooden embellishments,
So I had a go when I got home. This red one is for my old job share partner Helen as her colour scheme is red. I added some large buttons with butchers twine. It took most of my red gingham ribbon.


I forgot to mention that I used Paperartsy fresco acrylic paint for the birdhouse.

Next I chose to make one for my daughter using her new colour scheme of Grey and Mustard.
This time I bought the ribbon specially and I used 7 metres. 

Sarah used twice as much ribbon on her creation but I was happy with how far I took them. Thanks for the inspiration Sarah from Inkydoodles.

  2. Wow 7m's is a lot of ribbon to use and lots of bows to tie. Love the grey and mustard one and I think it's because the ribbon is a bit wider. Great Xmas pressies either way xxx
