An easy holiday craft :)
Ribbon Ornament
I made this ornament today -- it only took about 30-45 minutes to complete and I love how it turned out :)
Instructions
1. You will need a round styrofoam ball (any size - I chose the 4 1/2 inch size) which can be purchased at your local craft stores (I bought all supplies at Michaels), a container of straight pins (I prefer the ones without the colored ends) and 5 or 6 different coordinating ribbons of varying sizes -- again, purchased at Michaels - total cost of ribbon was approx. .35 per each because of the great deals!
2. Cut your ribbons into 3 inch strips. The white snowman ribbon below had wire on each side -- I removed the wire to make it easier to use.
3. Begin by looping each piece of ribbon and sticking it to the styrofoam with a straight pin (sometimes the wider ribbons need another pin added once you've gotten it placed where you want it.) Arrange the ribbons on the styrofoam ball in any manner you wish.
Finished product!
You can add a hanger at the end by cutting a longer strand of ribbon (approx. 8-10 inches) and pinning it with 4 or 5 straight pins into the top of your ornament.
Have fun!!!
