How To Make A Bow Board

 

There are a few different ways to make a bow board.

This is one of the easiest ways, and I love how the frame turns your bows into art!

As you might know, I don’t have any girls.
So sad considering making bows is a stress reliever. :)

The Ribbon Retreat has a Youtube Channel
coming soon with lots of video tutorials.
Exciting, yes?! 

Well, this bow board was made for those videos. 

Maybe someday they will hold the bows of a little girl.
For now, they will hold bows for decoration. :)

Have you been needing to make one for your little princess?
Here is your chance! You will see just how easy these are.

The complete tutorial is up over on The Ribbon Retreat Blog.

Make sure to check out their quality RIBBON 
and beautiful DESIGNER FABRICS to make your own.

Valentine's Day Wrapped Ribbon Wreath

 

After I put away my Christmas decorations, my house feels so empty!
I am so glad Valentine's Day is right around the corner so I have something to fill all that space with. 

This Valentine's Day Wrapped Ribbon Wreath is the first project on my list of fun Valentine's Day decor. And I can't wait to show you the rest too!

If you're looking for a quick and easy wreath to do, this is it!

Minky Tag Ball

 

I made most of the baby's presents for Christmas 
and this was one of them!

The Ribbon Retreat has lots of fun ribbon and when I saw this Football Ribbon, I knew I needed to do something with it. 

My baby boy loves it and loved playing with all the tags. 
And the minky fabric is so soft, he can snuggle it too!

Fabric Backdrop

 
 I took these fun pics of my kiddos using beautiful designer fabric from The Ribbon Retreat as a fun backdrop.  

 

I love to take pictures of my kids! I am not a professional photographer by any means, but I like to dress up the normal picture every once in awhile and fabric is a great way to do that. I also find taking pictures of my kids to be a great way to spend quality time with them. 

 

I have a tutorial on how to use a fabric backdrop and also how to take and edit the pictures with a point and shoot camera. Anyone can have professional looking pictures!

January Link Party at The Ribbon Retreat

 

I know how much you all love Link Parties!

We have one once a month over on The Ribbon Retreat Blog. 

Our theme this month is Anything Goes!

Our only requirement is that your submissions are made with products you can buy at TRR, such as ribbon, fabric, tulle, etc. We carry tons of stuff, so really this only limits the wood and paint type of projects. :)

We have three prizes so if you have something that you think will fit and you want to show it off, head on over to The Ribbon Retreat Blog's January Link Party!

Hooded Towel Tutorial


Hooded Towels are something that every child should have.
I grew up not having one and I was very jealous of those that did.
With how easy these are to make, there are no excuses. :)

This tutorial takes one large towel and one hand towel and embellishments such as ribbon, fabric, or trims, and all of these you can get from The Ribbon Retreat. You can make it as girly as can be or a simple as you'd like. The possibilities are endless.

Check out the Hooded Towel Tutorial by 
heading over to The Ribbon Retreat Blog.

Bow Tie Tutorial


Bow ties are really easy!

Why am I not making one for every week of church?
Seriously, I loved making these and they are adorable on!

The How To Make A Bow Tie tutorial is on The Ribbon Retreat Blog.
Just hop on over to see it!

The tutorial goes over how to change things up if you like them smaller, bigger, chunkier, etc.


If you're not making bow ties, here's your chance! Whip one up for Christmas Day!
Any one else excited Christmas is on a Sunday? Love it! :)


I just had to add this really edited picture of them... is it too edited? I kind of like it! :)

And obviously since I work for The Ribbon Retreat, if you're looking for Christmas fabrics, they have a lot of them! And some cute Christmas bow ties would be so cute for Christmas!
