Ruffled Ribbon Border

Create a pretty ruffled ribbon border around a die-cut shape.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Begin with a die-cut shape already stamped, colored, and ready to go.
   
   Flourishes Spring has Sprung set was used here.

   

2. Flip die-cut piece over, and adhere strong adhesive all around the edges.

   

3. Step 2

   Begin attaching ribbon to adhesive by creating small folds with your fingernail as you go.
   
   You can create lots of tight ruffles by making your folds very close together, or you can create a looser ruffle by making your folds further apart.

   

4. Continue folding until you meet the end where you started. Tuck the two ends out of sight in the back.

   

5. Step 3 (Optional)

   Adhere an identical die-cut shape to the back of the piece to give it some stability.

   

6. Step 4

   Flip it over and adhere to your card or other project.

   

7. Step 5

   Finish your card.
