Hi Everyone! Welcome to our Christmas Countdown! The next 25 days will be full of ideas and fun on our blog. We are so excited you are here.
In the past I have not been a fan of the old fashioned flocked ribbon. I think it’s because it is only one sided, seamed cheap looking, and is stiff. I decided to give it another try. You know what? I kind of like (love) it now. I love the look of velvet and flocked ribbon is a close second. It’s very inexpensive, which is a bonus, and easy to find.
Here are some ways I have used it to embellish presents. I love the look of Kraft and red together. It feels so natural and Kraft paper is so inexpensive and versatile. For smaller gifts I use painter’s paper found in hardware stores because it’s thinner and easier to use. I’m also loving the new My Mind’s Eye Joyous line. I used several items to help embellish my packages.
I discovered you can punch through it using a variety of paper punches and dies.
I’ve always seen this ribbon tied in bows and had it in my mind that was all I could do with it. Here’s a feather gift topper I made. Just cut two pieces of the flocked ribbon into a feather shape. Glue a piece of wire between the two pieces and then cut a fringe around the edge.
How about just cutting pennants out of it to adorn a gift?
Here I stuffed a toilet paper roll with goodies, wrapped it and used the flocked ribbon to make pom poms for each side. Simply cut two pieces of ribbon about 12 inches long. Run a gathering stitch through the middle of each one. Cut the edges into a fringe and gather the middle by pulling the running stitch. Knot each end. I then scrunched the pom poms and glued them into place.
There are so many possibilities with this popular holiday ribbon. I would love to see what you come up with.
Until tomorrow….hope you have an amazing week!
