Hey ladies!!  (And dudes too, if you’re out there), I always wonder who really reads this blog…  ya know?

Sorry, I know random.

We’re making a super fun and totally simple craft today for Halloween.  I made these for my son’s spooky birthday party this weekend!  They’re darling little Halloween ribbon ornaments.

Oh BTW, make sure and check out the bottom of this post for a pretty cool Just Sew Sassy announcement:)

Sorry, on to the tutorial…

Halloweeen Ribbon Ornaments

Supplies:

• lots of Halloween colored ribbon for the ornaments and thinner ribbon for hanging
• precut circles of Halloween paper, you’ll need about 10 each of 2 sizes (I used the base of a spool of thread to make one size, and a glue stick to make the other, haha original right:)
• buttons
• glue gun and sticks
• scissors or rotary cutter and mat

Step 1:

Cut your ribbon.  I’m going to show you how to make three different ornaments.  I started by cutting the ribbon into strips for each one of the ornaments.

For the first one, cut 3 strips of ribbon about 7 inches in length.

For the next one, cut 3 strips of ribbon 4 inches in length, and then cut the ends to form an inverted “v” shape.

Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of this step with the green ribbon, but its just like this.

For the last ornament, cut 4 strips of ribbon about 5 1/2 inches in length.

Step 2:

-K- you’re done with the cutting, next comes the hot glue!  (Keep in mind, you can also sew these together, but I thought the hot glue would be a faster, easier route for me)

Going back to the first ornament.  Glue the ends together to form a circle.

Then place a dab of glue in the inside center, and squish down to form a bowtie shape.

Repeat with the the two other ribbons.

Then glue the three bowtie shapes together, one on top of the other to form a flower shape.

-K-  we’ll come back to this one in a sec.

Moving on to the second ornament.  Glue each of the 3 ribbons on top of one another to form a star shape.

And, moving on to the third ornament.

Fold the ribbon in half to form a loop, and secure the end with glue. 

Repeat with all four ribbons.  Then glue one loop on top of the other to form a different kind of flower shape.

Step 3:

Next, you gotta glue the paper centers to your ornaments.  You can mix and match, and even throw in some buttons if you prefer:)

Just hot glue those little circles (and or buttons) right to the center of your shapes.

Step 4:

Glue the skinnier ribbon together to form a loop, and attach it to the back of the ornament with you guessed it, more hot glue!

Voila!!

-K- so I totally forgot or somehow deleted the last picture of my looped ornament, but you can see a few of them hanging on my spooky branches…

And here’s a shot of the birthday party spread…
