Puff my ribbon

Finally using some more of that Christmas ribbon that I didn't use and won't need till later this year. I decided to Puff my ribbon aka Loopy puff bow. Using 3/8" white, green and a green with red, white and dark green dots. I attached the puffed ribbon bow to a pre-lined white clip. I think I used about 40 loops. (Sorry I stopped counting.) I think that I can still have the munchkin wear this bow... perhaps during St. Patty's Day.

This really is a quick bow, I think the majority of the time is spent cutting and sealing the ribbon. I can actually multi-task reading or watching TV and complete this style. Considering the munchkin's hair is still short, something like this is a good distractor LOL!!

Loop de Loop

Materials:

• 1/4"& 1/8" Grosgrain & Satin ribbon (different colors & patterns)
• French clip barrette
• lighter
• hot glue gin and glue sticks
• floral wire
• scissors

 This loopy bow is the first bow that I've made that I think will look good in my munchkins' hair. Those who know her, know that she doesn't have much... so a small bow is what she needs. The loopy bow includes both Satin and Grograin ribbon (Yellow w/ white polka dots, Green, White,  Yellow,  and  what I am calling Magenta ).  I used a smaller french clip  barrette but will experiment with a larger clips so that I can have more loops. 

I used two tutorials to guide me. I am falling in love more and more with Girly Things. The other which was quite useful was Scribd. There suggestion to line the inside of the clip made it look very neat!

I was happy to find another 365 blog, A Rabbit A Day. Very creative and worth taking a look at.
