Ribbon Ruffles!

Today I (Natalie) am going to show you how to add a cute ribbon ruffle to your cards!
First off, you will need ribbon, cardstock and a strong adhesive. I prefer scor-tape or my ATG for something like this.

Take your adhesive and apply right on the edge of the cardstock you are going to ‘ruffle’.

Start at one end and start applying ribbon in a folding, ruffle type motion. Do not trim your ribbon until your ruffle is how you like it.

When you are done you should have something like this:

Just a note, I used my sewing machine and sewed around the edge of my stamped image. It does secure the ribbon more permanently but if you use scor-tape or something just as strong you shouldn’t need to machine stitch!

Ok, now go make some ruffles!
