I had been cleaning out my craft cabinet and noticed I had a lot of ribbon. A lot meaning about 20 rolls. I hadn't used much of it in the past year, so I decided to make something out of ALL of it!

What a lovely idea! I too have a ton of ribbon...of course as a paper crafter, the hoarder in me screams NO! i MIGHT NEED IT! LOL But this is a great way to get rid of some of my lesser loved colors!
ReplyDeleteYes, I know the feeling of being a hoarder of items for crafting. I have a storage unit with so many recyclables...I'm going to have to purge or think of crafts very soon...need to make room for more! EEK!
DeleteGreat idea, Jessi. A trip to the dollar store can yield inexpensive plastic bracelets that can be used as holders, too. I have some of these somewhere. Might be time to find them again....
ReplyDeleteBracelets! Duh! What a brilliant idea!!
DeleteI just "looped" (and then tied) my ribbons through large elastic pony-tail holders---no glue necessary...and the elastics can be held in the hand, worn on the wrist, or even around the ankles (for some flexible children)!
ReplyDeleteI've done that with fabric scraps, and it works great! I love the idea of ankles...hmm...you got me thinking!
DeleteWhat a beautiful idea! I have that "crafter hoarding" thing too. But I am definitely in need of a craft purge and I have yet to use all the ribbon I've been carrying around for more than 3 years!
ReplyDeleteWow! I know, I've been needing to go thru a few boxes/cupboards...
DeleteShower curtain rings or canning jar rings work well, too.
ReplyDeleteI love using curtain rings! Hmm..maybe that would be an idea of "what to do with curtain rings" type of post. :)
DeleteI've been meaning to do this for ages...thanks for the inspiration...i think my twin toddlers would love this!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Any time! :) I think your blog will be a great inspiration for me and my "new" toddler (14 months)!
DeleteI love that this is a fun, inexpensive activity. : ) I would love it if you shared this link and any other fun, frugal, kid-friendly posts at my linky party fun frual friday www.funfrugalmommy.blogspot.com

Done! Thanks for the invite. ;)
DeleteJessi, I found some of these in a cabinet so I think we're using these this week. I'll post pictures on the blog if that happens.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Fun Frugal Friday Linky Party....
ReplyDeleteNow that is a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteWe made two types of these last year - the kids love them - we also used them in our Holiday concert!
We are totally making these for Little M's Fancy Backyard Tea Party! Thanks for the idea... ;)
