Ribbon Christmas Tree Part 2

Hello Everyone,
Hope your Holiday preparations are going well.  I have one more Christmas card Post for this year.  This is the second post for my Ribbon Scrap Christmas Tree cards.  See Part One here.

I added an folded flap on the cards with a punched edge. Also added a little bit of bling via the rhinestones.

I have repeated the instructions for making the trees below:

• I collected a huge pile of ribbon scraps:  all lengths, widths, and colors.
• Press a piece of cotton fabric nice and flat; I used muslin.
• Lay out the muslin on a heat proof surface: I used my ironing board.
• On top of the muslin, lay a sheet of Stitch Witchery Fusible bonding web 
• Place all the ribbon scraps on top of the Stitch Witchery, butting the ribbons together, completely covering the muslin. 
• Use a press cloth and fuse the layers together with an iron.
• Now you have a piece of ribbon fabric
• Cut triangles from the ribbon fabric and use them for the trees.
• I added a piece of brown twill ribbon for the tree truck
• Glue to CS with Fabric Tac glue

I wish everyone a Happy Holiday!!!!

See you next year!! I have a peacock birthday I would like to share!!

Ribbon Christmas tree

Hello Everyone,

Back today with another Christmas card.  This card was made with ribbon scraps.  Here is how I used the ribbon scraps to make this project.

• I collected a huge pile of ribbon scraps:  all lengths, widths, and colors.
• Press a piece of cotton fabric nice and flat; I used muslin.
• Lay out the muslin on a heat proof surface: I used my ironing board.
• On top of the muslin, lay a sheet of Stitch Witchery Fusible bonding web 
• Place all the ribbon scraps on top of the Stitch Witchery, butting the ribbons together, completely covering the muslin. 
• Use a press cloth and fuse the layers together with an iron.

• Now you have a piece of ribbon fabric
• Cut triangles from the ribbon fabric and use them for the trees.
• I added a piece of brown twill ribbon for the tree truck
• Glue to CS with Fabric Tac glue

I made a few cards with a colored background too.

Super way to use all those ribbon pieces that you can't bear to toss in the trash.
I also think you could cut circles from the ribbon fabric and make an ornament.

Thanks for stopping by.  Next post I will have a few more versions of my ribbon tree cards.  Have a great day.
