Ribbon Bracelet with the Ribbon Resource



 Everybody loves a little bling bling and today I’ve got a really easy bracelet that you can create in no time.  These make wonderful gifts for your friends and with all the ribbon choices we offer along with various beads, the only limit is your imagination. 
 

Gather together ribbon, beads/pearls, needle and bead thread

  Fold your ribbon with a small hill(about ¼” to ½” depending on the side of your pearl) and lay your pearl beside it, then run your needle and thread through to set. 


Continue the first step until you have enough of a length to go around your wrist.  I used 13 beads, but this will varying depending on your size bead and size of bracelet desired.


Once you have all your beads set, then run back through the ribbon and the beads with your needle and thread.  This will help to make sure the bracelet stay tight and secure the beads/pearls. 

 


At the end of your bracelet when you’ve run the thread back through tie a double knot and then run the loose ends back through the three or four of the pearls to finish off. 

 


Finish off your bracelet with a cute bow.  I just slide my over my wrist when I want to wear, but you could just tie on and off  if you prefer.

Pearls /Beads

Thread

Another Peek at the Edge'ables from Crafter's Companion


I wanted to show you this bifold card I made with another set from the Edge'ables Fancy Christmas collection from Crafter's Companion.  The stars across the top were so easy to add and they really make this card fancy.  I love the ease of these dies. 

Be sure to continue to hop back in to my blog as we have so many new releases coming up in the next few days.
