I''m so sorry everybody! I've been such a procrastinator lately, always telling myself "I'll finish that post later" and forgetting to or not having time. For my next party coming up, I need some prize ribbons for a competition. These are super easy to make. All you need is:
-Felt or fabric scraps
-Cardboard
-Scissors
-Hot glue and a hot glue gun
-A pen (you could also use a marker or paint)
-A paintbrush
-Paint (I used metallic gold and silver)
Step 1. Cut out circles from your cardboard. Thin cardboard is best, such as my recycled Caprisun box.
Step 2. Cut out rectangles from your fabric or felt, then cut a v shape into one side of each rectangle. Glue these on to the circles, one per circle.
Step 3. This step is optional. I only did this to one of my ribbons. You can cut gum-drop shaped pieces from your felt or fabric and glue them around the rim of your circle(s).
Step 4. Now you can paint your circles. I painted only the edges of one with metallic silver acrylic paint, and covered another one entirely with gold metallic paint.
Step 5. Write on them with pen, marker or paint. You could do 'most creative' or 'most colorful', ect.
Step 6. Hot glue pins to the backs of them.
Your done! Your contestants are sure to love them!
