How To
Pleated Ribbon
- Attach the edge of your ribbon with 2 tiny staples.
- Apply a line of fabric glue. Fabri Tac is WONDERFUL. (I wish I was endorsed by Beacon. I am not)
- Pleat the ribbon along the glue line irregularly to create a messy look. don’t worry about the pleats opening up at this stage.
- Go back and apply a bead of glue underneath each “pleat” to keep it in place.
Ribbon Flower
Also Known as – what to do if you run out of ribbon while pleating but happen to have a similarly colored ribbon at hand…
- Put a drop of fabric glue where you want your flower center to be at and adhere the tip of your ribbon strip to it.
- Apply some more glue around the glued edge and start turning your ribbon around it, flipping the ribbon occasionally.
- Keep applying more beads of glue around and building your “flower” until you are satisfied with its size.
- Cut off the excess ribbon and tuck the end underneath one of the pleats with another bead of glue.
