Twill ribbon flower

Another type of ribbon flower today. This one was made with pink twill. On a circular piece of double stick tape, you lay the ribbon down after making a knot at one end and begin to twist the ribbon pressing it onto the tape after each twist. On this flower we started in the middle and worked out. As we got to the edge we tucked the end down with a dot of white glue. A self adhesive gem was added to the middle. A little bit of dry chalk was added to the edge of the punched leaves. On to some treasures we did with Tim Holtz tomorrow. More with canvases.

Goober flower

One night at the show there is a massive time of quick Make and Takes. This tag was done there using a "goober". A "goober" is just a circular piece of double stick acetate that is big enough to make a ribbon flower. We took this organza type material and gathered it and pressed it to the sticky stuff as we went. You don't roll the material, rather bunch and stick as you wind it towards the middle. Then an adhesive gem was added to the center. With the light weight of the ribbon, it had no trouble attaching and staying on the adhesive.
