How To Make DIY Spring Ribbon Topiary

Hello everyone!  I am excited to share with you today my Spring inspired Ribbon Topiary project. 

I really had fun doing this project. It is very simple to make yet very satisfying. The beautiful colored MayArts  organza ribbons  blended perfectly together. This can be a great gift,centerpiece or homedecor just in time for spring season. You can also use the same idea or technique on your next party event/occasion.  

How To Make A DIY Spring Ribbon Topiary

Material/Supplies Used: 

• foam ball 
• May Arts Ribbons (349-47, 349-46, 349-22, 349-27, 349-28, 363-10) 
• Wine Cork  ( you can use Wooden Dowel )
• hot glue  ( you can use straight pins )
• newspapers to secure my Wine Cork Dowel

Instructions:

• Cut your organza ribbons into 4" to 5" strips.
• Hot glue loops/curled ribbons into the foam ball until it's completely covered. (You can use safety pins).
• Make wine cork dowel, just hot glue wine cork together then wrap some Burlap ribbon where the  corks are connected. 
• Put your floral foam into your topiary base of your choice.
• Add some old newspapers to support the dowel.
• And also add more ribbons around the bottom of my Dowel to cover the newspapers. 
• Decorate. Done!

That's it my friends, Thanks for stopping by and hope I inspire you today! 

Coffin Paper Rosettes Bouquet

Hello Everyone!  I have a very festive project I would like to share. Paper Rosettes are very popular right now,they are popping everywhere, especially this Fall season. So when I received my Ebony & Ivory cardstock from Core'dinations and the Color Me Crazy collection by Petaloo, I knew exactly what to make for my May Arts blog post.

I decided to make a Coffin Paper Rosettes Bouquet. You will find my step-by-step photo tutorial below on how I made this Halloween project. The Core'dinations cardstock + Petaloo flowers + May Arts ribbons are a perfect compliment to each other. 

I used the Petallo Flowers to decorate the center of my Folded Paper Rosettes. I added Halloween Patterned paper to my plain cardstock to give colors to my flowers. Also, I covered my skewer sticks with Grosgrain/Center Polka Dot Band. 

Please click the image below to enlarge the step-by-step photos of how I made my Coffin Paper Rosettes Bouquet.

How did I make it?

Supplies: 

May Arts Ribbons: Skewer Sticks Ribbon, Corset Ribbon, Spider Web Ribbon
Cardstock : Ebony & Ivory by Core'dinations
Flowers : Color me Crazy by Petaloo
Cutfile : SVGCuts

Thanks a lot for stopping by. I hope you LIKE my projects and that I inspired you today!
