Ribbon Wreath Curtain Ring Ornament

Simple repurposing of items ornament !

Ribbon scraps, rubber stamped mini tag and baker's twine

were all that I used on this old curtain ring to give it a new life.

I'm entering my project in the new challenge blog for all things Christmas,

PROJECT DETAILS:

This is a quick and easy craft to use up ribbon scraps. I used a curtain ring that was in a grab bag of miscellaneous craft supplies from a church yard sale as my base. A tiny embroidery hoop, mason jar lid ring even a circle cut from foam core would work, nearly anything that is "donut shaped" to tie ribbon or fabric scraps around.

I started by base coating the wood curtain ring with acrylic craft paint

 that coordinated with the ribbons I was using.

I chose several types of color coordinated ribbons for my project, but you can use the same type for all of your ribbon or fabric scraps. I cut one piece to determine the length that I needed first, then cut many more nearly the same size. I wanted some to be a tiny bit longer or shorter, so I adjusted the cut ribbon length. You can also make them all the same length for a more uniform look.

Fold the ribbon in half. Lay the ring on top with the loop outside of the ring  and the tails on the inside. Pull the tails up and over the ring towards the outside, tucking them through the looped portion. Pull snugly. I used a tiny bit of hot glue to hold them in place. Continue doing this until the ring is covered to your liking.

Add whatever embellishments you like, if you wish. I kept this one simple: just a tag and baker's twine.

That's all there is to it, simple enough for a child to do !
