Paper Ribbons

The other day I was searching around the house for ribbon. Which is pretty much like looking for a needle in a haystack. So, I had to get creative. Here's what I got. And remember, the next time you're about to search high and low for some ribbon...just go to Gracie-notes instead. =)

What you need:
 Paper towel
 Scissors
 Crayons (markers, pastels)
 Hole puncher

Take the paper towel and cut a narrow strip longways across one side, leaving the last centimeter intact. Then cut another strip right along side it, snipping the edge off this time.

Then color the paper towel strips. (I did each side a different color for fun. Orange and yellow, blue and silver etc..)

                                                   

Wrap the two strips tightly around each other and twist the ends together

Punch a hole in your name tag (in this case), thread the ribbon through it, and tie the ends together.

Ta-da!! Cute and easy. =)

(Sorry about the messy arrangement...picture blogging is a lot harder that I thought it would be!)
