Oh No! They Don’t Carry Anymore Of My Ribbon!!

What do you do when the ribbon you planned on using for your tree is no longer available? I purchased enough of the black and white striped ribbon to use in one area of my home, and then decided I needed more for my tree!!

They did not have any more of this…….

 

After thinking about it, I  decided I needed something a little bolder  than this particular stripe. I have so many ornaments on my tree this stripe would just disappear, so I put on my thinking cap!

The store did have some of this…….

Bridesmaid! What does that have to do with Christmas?!!

So I turned it over and did this……..

I just used some fusible webbing and now I have a nice sharp contrasting ribbon to make my bows for my tree. I used 3in. double faced white satin and an 1in. black grosgrain ribbon fused together to make my loosely tied bows.

If you read my last post,"To Bow or Not To Bow?!" you know I love a nice soft looking bow over a wired ribbon contrived looking bow.

Here is a little sneak peek of my tree! I promise I will show you more when it is all done. Only a few more bows to make!!

Yay!!! my plan worked perfectly. You can not defeat a die hard decorator at Christmas time!!
