October Potpourri

Another month, another challenge ;D Happy October everyone!
If you're like me, you have a ton of ribbon. What do you do
with the remnants? I have a whole jar of ribbon pieces that are
less than 12 inches long in length, not long enough to run all
the way across my 12x12 layout but not short enough to throw
away either! Jackie's washi tape challenge last month got me to
thinking, the tape was sticky and I couldn't figure out how to
make the flowers, so I practiced with ribbon. Viola! Look at
this flower

I used all leftover ribbon from my stash and used it on this
layout:

The flower can be made in all different sizes and colors and can
also be used on cards (I will be making one of these!). So your
challenge for this month is to make a ribbon flower and use it
on a layout or card.
Here's a little tutorial on how I made this one. I found
ribbons of coordinating colors and cut them all to 6 inches (you
can use various widths/textures of ribbon but mine were all
American Crafts ribbons that I got in a swap years ago). You
will need a 1 1/2 inch circle of paper. On each ribbon, put a
glue dot on the top side of the ribbon at the 2 1/2 inch mark
and fold the ribbon over. Put another glue dot on the end and
match the ends together. Attach to the circle with a glue dot.

Work all the way around the circle until you have 4 - 8 petals.

You will need two of these. Put a pop dot in the middle of one
and attach the other one directly on top.

Top it off with a button or sticker (I used a woven circle).
Trim the ends so they're all the same length and attach to your
layout/card.

You can use shorter ribbon lengths (just adjust the size of the
circle and the folding) or longer lengths, whatever you need for
your layout/card. It certainly add a little bit of
texture/dimension to your project.
Can't wait to see what you all come up with! Get scrappin'
ladies!!

Great idea Sherrie, I don't have any remnants as I always tie
the two ends together and then cut, but I think I will make one
of these adorable flowers and just cut the pieces,!!!
