i came up with this little project after being inspired by this film and ... it's a fun, colorful & cheap solution to wall decor...plus it has a handmade, crafty-feel to it which always makes a home cozy to me...this is Posies & Plume's second DYI feature on Handmade Home...if you missed the first, check it out here... read on for how to make this Ribbon Wall-Hanging...
For this project you will need:1) spools of ribbon with various textures, widths & colors
2) a dowel rod painted the color of your choice
3) scissors 4) sewing pins
5) glue or needle & thread (or sewing machine)
cut the ribbons at varying lengths
lay the ribbon out (beneath the dowel rod) in the desired order of colors/lengths...
make sure to leave an inch of ribbon above the dowel rod
make sure to leave an inch of ribbon above the dowel rod
fold the inch of ribbon sticking out the top side of the dowel rod over
secure with a sewing pin...at this point you can choose either to glue, hand-sew or machine sew each ribbon directly below the dowel rod to create a loop so that the ribbon can hang from the dowel rod...i hand-sewed them... if you choose to glue, i would leave the pin in place until the glue has dried
and voila! wasn't that easy for a cute wall-hanging? it would be great decor at a party or hang over the door of a kid's room so they can brush through the ribbons every time they enter their room... it will give the room a magical feel!
