Every time I go down the ribbon aisle at the local craft store I am amazed at the variety of cute ribbons they have. Well when I saw this measuring tape ribbon I knew I had to get it and make a flower. This flower pin would be a really cute gift for teacher appreciation day. It is easy to make because it doesn't require and sewing and the ribbon it pretty inexpensive. Supplies Approx 9 ft. of Measuring Tape Ribbon* Scissors Glue Gun Felt 2-small pieces in two different colors Pinking Shears (optional) 1" pin Button for the center *I used a spool of Offray 5/8" ribbon that I purchased at AC Moore. I did a search on the web and there seem to be a lot of ribbon options. I would suggest that you don't use anything wider than .75". Cut a 1.5" circle out of the felt using the pinking shears. If you don't have pinking shears normal scissors work just fine. Using the ribbon, cut twenty to twenty-four 3" strips and five to six 2"...
I’m a lifelong crafter with many different interests and an addiction to craft supply stores that I can’t seem to kick. If it is shiny, feathery or sparkly I love it! I always carry a camera around and take pictures of anything that interest and inspires me. I have started this blog to share these things.
