It's Turkey Time

Hi all, 

Hey, Hope you are all getting excited over the new Ribbon Club Assortment  - Colors of Autumn Assortment it's super gorgeous!! The colors are so vivid and just great for all your fall projects. :D 

Well I want to share with you all a cute little turkey candle holder I created using these beautiful ribbons. I created one of these about 2 years ago or so but it was different. I used the same concept for the front of the turkey but used the rosette technique with the ribbons instead of using feather. I think he turned out cute. 

So here is my little Turkey guy, hope you all like it. I know it's a bit different than the usual but I thought it would be a nice change. :D 

So to create the back of the turkey I cut out 3 1/2 , 3, 2 1/2 inch circles. 

I used score tape around the circles and then got my ribbons and

started the rosette only going around half way. I then used 3D adhesive 

to stack the rosettes on top of one another, in a layered look. I used my little 

scallop punch for the front of the turkey's body. Hot glued him to the small

mason jar. I used googly eyes and cut a beak and did a snood. 

I wanted to show y'all another close up of the turkey and the ribbons.

Here are the Ribbons I used 5/8"Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon Turftan Brown; 

5/8"Square in Square Print Satin Ribbon Kiwi Green; 5/8"Square in Square print Satin Ribbon Tangerine to create the rosettes for the Turkey's feathers. I also used the cute 

3/8"Checkerboard Satin Ribbon Tangerine for his bow tie. 

 Here shows a close up side view of the ribbons layered. 

I used the 1.5 inch Brown Netting to decorate the mason jar

which I wrapped around the  mason jar and then wrapped the 

3/8"Autumn Bold Diagonal Stripe Grosgrain ribbon wrapped that on top. 

I used hot glue to adhere both ribbons to the mason jar.

To Ring In The 4th of July I made a 4th of July Wreath with the Ribbon of the Month May Ribbon Club Assortment.  This May Assortment is just amazing so much you can do with it and the ribbons are so pretty!!! Don't they just look YUMMY!!

Here is my 4th of July Wreath -

 In using this Gorgeous Patriotic Collection I made rosettes using

each ribbon from the collection. Layered large, medium and small. 

To make the rosettes I cut circles, 2 inches, 1 1/2 inch, and 1 inch punches.

I used hot glue gun to adhere my ribbons onto the circles. 

I used the Satin double ruffle ribbon Peacock to wrap my wreath over the 

burlap and then tied a lovely bow so it would hang. 

I also used the little Sweetheart Blooms Mixed Colors  Red, Blue & White

here and there around the wreath. 

In the middle of the wreath I made a little Flag with the word "freedom" and

used the ribbons for the streams. 

For my streams I used the following ribbons -

3/8"Diamond Satin Electric Blue, 3/8"Checkerboard Satin Poppy Red, 

3/8"Random Patriotic Stars on White Grosgrain, 3/8"American Flag Print on Satin

 3/8"Patriotic Chevron Grosgrain Ribbon and a rosette adhered to 

the American Flag print ribbon. 

 Here is a close up of the red rosette I made with the ribbons. 

I am so pleased with how these turned out. So easy to work with!! 

I used 5/8" PoppyRed Double-faced Satin, with 5/8"Plaid Ribbon Royal Blue

For the cute little one in the middle - 3/8"American Flag Print on Satin 

For the bottom one I used 5/8"Plaid Ribbon Royal Blue and 3/8"Diamond Satin Electric Blue, 3/8"Checkerboard Satin Poppy Red

Close Up of the Top of the wreath. I just love how the "Chevron" ribbon creates a

 zigzag look on the rosette. so pretty. 

The little middle rosette is made with  3/8"Patriotic Chevron Grosgrain Ribbon; 

I used Electric Blue Double-faced Satin, 5/8" PoppyRed Double-faced Satin, 3/8"Random Patriotic Stars on White Grosgrain for the large rosette by the little sweetheart blossom flowers. Isn't that

Stars on White Grosgrain so awesome with the blue & red ribbons?? 

I Love It!!! :D 

 Close Up of the Right side of the wreath. Here are the ribbons I used for these Rosettes - 

These are for the top Rosette -

5/8"Plaid Ribbon Red ; 5/8"Electric Blue Double-faced Satin

 For the cute little one in the middle - 3/8"American Flag Print on Satin 

For the red and blue rosette - Electric Blue Double-faced Satin; 5/8" PoppyRed Double-faced Satin 

I am loving the American Flag print, I gotta get some more of that one!! 

 Close Up of the bottom right side of the wreath. I just love how the little flowers really 

a softness to the wreath. they are so cute. :D The colors of these ribbons are just so 

vibrant and lively. In person they are just stunning, seriously!
