Another Project - Ribbon Holder














Another Cheap and Cheerful project has been completed. This ribbon holder was a gift for my FRIEND Judy's birthday.
Supplies:
Cosmetic bag - (Small-Clear) (Wal-Mart)
Long reach round hole punch - (AC Moore)
Ribbon (various craft stores - sale rack)
Binder Ring and chip board tag

Directions:
1- Make a template to make sure the wholes are evenly punched. (e-mail me and I will send you the one I used as a guide).
2- Tape template to bag. Using hole punch punch holes through bag. This works best if you have 4 hands. (I had help with this part from Kelli)
3- Thread ribbon through the holes.
4- Embellish chipboard tag and attached to zipper pull using binder ring.

Bookends











Another project completed. See before and after photos below of my latest project. I used metal bookends (recycled from a friend), wooden letters (Hobby Lobby), white paint, polka-dot paper and embellishments I had on hand. To add a splash of color I added a red brad on the small and a red button on the large bookend. (idea from Kelli)
