These past two weeks, I've been doing some blah to TADA! crafts based on this book:
I also had the chance to go to the book launch
called Stitch Fest in New York City,
where I found the cutest display:
Flowers made out of ribbons!
This technique is called ribbon embroidery.
I really liked how they turned out so
I had to try it myself:
I got myself some blah fabric scraps.
Then embroidered away using pink ribbon.
{You'll need some force to tug the ribbon through the cloth}
I also used some thread since I
had no green & yellow ribbon on hand.
TADA! I made this all by myself!
I put it in a frame to decorate the hallway.
I think it makes a nice gift to someone you'd like to give a bouquet of flowers to -- but it's fantastic because this requires no watering, there's no wilting and it's a gift that's completely handmade!
just beautiful :)
