Make It Monday #43: Ribbon Pleating

Hi there!  Haven't been in here for a while.  It's full on craft fair season and I've been in the thick of it since October!  Hence my absence on the blog.  Thankfully, the last craft fair I will be participating in this year is this Saturday.  Because I've only been doing craft fair items over and over and nothing fun just for me, I took a look over at Nichole's blog and the Make it Monday video you can find here.  So I decided to jump in and do it in between projects that I'm currently working on.
 

Somehow, recently, kraft paper has been used a lot in my projects.  Perhaps it's with the winter air moving in and the snow flakes that were trying so hard to stick this afternoon that I find myself using it more.  The edges were brushed with white ink and the corners rounded.

I used PTI top notch twill in Scarlet Jewel and Pinefeather adhered down with Scoretape.  However, I think I need to get thicker Scoretape for this project.  I was using the 1/8th inch size and it wasn't holding very well.  I added some glue dots to make it more secure.

 The 'O Christmas Tree sentiment from the Merry and Bright set was stamped at the bottom to make it look like the trunk of the tree.

And finally a little star was punched out and glittered to make it's way to the top of the ribbon tree!


Thanks for stopping by today.  Leave me a comment - I always like to hear what you think!  And I promise to be back more after the holiday season is over.
