I simply love adding ribbon to my projects! When I saw these fun Day of the Dead Towels at my local Dollar Tree, I knew they would be absolutely perfect trimmed with Gwen Studios Ribbon Favor Pack Grosgrain Ribbon!
This project is so simple to make! You can sew the ribbon loops to the towel, by either hand or machine. You also could use fabric glue to attach them.
Here is what you'll need:
Gwen Studios Favor Pack Grosgrain Ribbon - you'll find these packages of ribbon online at Michaels, WalMart, Jo Ann or Amazon.
These ribbons are a great buy...and have so many fun colors! They'll add a bright splash of color to any sewing or craft project.
You will also need:
Day of the Dead Tea Towel (Dollar Tree), Scissors, Needle and Thread or Fabric Glue, Dressmaker's Pins, 7/8" Yllow Button.
Instructions:
1. Cut assorted colors of the Gwen Studios favor pack ribbon into 3 1/2" strips.
2. Fold ribbon in half and pin 1/2" from edge at wrong side of towel. Sew or glue in place.
3. Cut a piece of Gwen Studios favor pack grosgrain ribbon 1" longer than the bottom edge of the towel. Pin in place, 1/2" from front towel edge, tucking ends of ribbon to back. Stitch the ribbon onto the towel.
4. Cut a Piece of contrasting color Gwen Studios Favor Pack grosgrain ribbon for a bow. Stitch the bow at center of ribbon trim, then stitch a button at the middle.
Many thanks to Gwen Studios for providing the ribbon for this project and to Designer Crafts Connection for the opportunity to post in the Linky Party!
