With weeks to go until I can adorn our home with Christmas decorations, my hubby Mr C has requested for the first time ever, a Traditional Christmas. He fancies holly and ivy and the colours of red's gold and green. I am not sure why this has come about, as for years we had had silvers, purples and clear lights but who am I to argue with him! So I am now on a mission to make as many decorations as I can. I shall be spending many a winter evening (work permitting) looking through the internet for ideas that are cheap and cheerful (and free). Mr C has also agreed that he will help me make some and started to this evening by making a ribbon rose of tartan that will go on the tree. I had purchased three reels of the wired ribbon earlier in the year, put it in a bottom draw and had forgotten all about it but an hour after finding it, he said he was just testing some other ideas I have my first tartan rose. (These are so easy it takes seconds to make one). Pictures will follow but these instructions may help in the mean time.
I will post more and more Christmas decorations as and when I find or make them.
Can't tell you how excited I feel!
HOW TO MAKE A RIBBON ROSE
I've been trying to learn how to make ribbon roses for a while now and these are the best instructions i've found so far. I'm a little confused about the rolling bit though
