I LOVE adding ribbon to my gifts! Sure, you can buy fancy pre-made ribbons and bows at the store, but nothing beats handmade! Especially when The Ribbon Resource offers such beautiful ribbons that you can match perfectly to your wrapping paper! Simply wrap around and add a bow! It's that simple! </div>

This little ornament was so much fun to make! I had some flat bottlecaps laying around and decided to put them to use! I simply glued them together, added some festive ribbon for the hanger and scarf, and then used a permanent marker to draw on the face and buttons. Such a cute little ornament and a great kids craft! </div>

I LOVE using the <a href="https://www.ribbonresource.com/ribbon/58-inch-red-everyday-ribbon/" target="_blank">5/8" Elastic ribbon</a>. You can add a simple bow or something elaborate to this elastic and it's perfect for making headbands from baby to adult! I used a variety of ribbons and just made some simple bows and added them to the elastic. These are great for babies and little girls to wear this festive holiday season! These can also be made with other colors of elastic and ribbons for gifts for all seasons! </span></div>

For my project, I went wit ha Halloween tag. Tags are very universal. You can add them to gifts, treat bags, or even home decor. They are always nice to have laying around for when you may need to add that extra something to a project. I love using ribbon as an embellishment. I think it's the perfect topper to this cute little vintage tag!</div>

Welcome to the May Arts Ribbon scraps blog hop! Today we are going to show you many ways that you can use up those ribbon scraps in projects instead of throwing them in the trash! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3WvlbP2Ujg8/Va_hEMAI6qI/AAAAAAAAObc/_bU9T4t3dNw/s1600/emily_scrapshop.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3WvlbP2Ujg8/Va_hEMAI6qI/AAAAAAAAObc/_bU9T4t3dNw/s400/emily_scrapshop.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my absolute favorite uses for scrap ribbon is on tags. I keep a box of scraps right beside my desk for this reason. I hate to waste pretty ribbon! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love to add little pieces to the bottom of a tag to give that extra dimension and frayed look. Since ribbons come in all shapes and sizes, this is the perfect use for your scraps! </div>

Welcome to the May Arts Ribbon Baby Blog Hop! Since our Queen of the Ribbonista's (Bethney) recently had a precious little bundle of joy, we have all been gushing over everything baby! What an exciting reason to hold a blog hop! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LWTDT1REbK4/VTfXFXR85cI/AAAAAAAAOV8/fbX__injtwY/s1600/emily-babyhop.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LWTDT1REbK4/VTfXFXR85cI/AAAAAAAAOV8/fbX__injtwY/s1600/emily-babyhop.png" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I seem to always be in hairbow mode because making hairbows for little girls and babies is so much fun!!! I decided to make a cute headband along with some barefoot sandals. These are all the trend right now! I made up a little tutorial on how to make the barefoot sandals. They are so quick and easy to create, what an adorable and inexpensive baby gift! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FRpLBoAOzA4/VThGh3LlfZI/AAAAAAAAOXI/6yDjukDOGSE/s1600/image1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FRpLBoAOzA4/VThGh3LlfZI/AAAAAAAAOXI/6yDjukDOGSE/s1600/image1.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will need: Ribbon flowers, elastic, and some little jewels for the centers. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SiZs7LxOBWI/VThGh7BNefI/AAAAAAAAOXE/yAlJ6FBf8u8/s1600/image2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SiZs7LxOBWI/VThGh7BNefI/AAAAAAAAOXE/yAlJ6FBf8u8/s1600/image2.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, cut your elastic. For newborn size cut the elastic around 9". For 6-9 month size, cut the elastic at about 11". </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1TEDYtjHEyQ/VThGh4wAp2I/AAAAAAAAOXA/PGDY5-hU4OQ/s1600/image3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1TEDYtjHEyQ/VThGh4wAp2I/AAAAAAAAOXA/PGDY5-hU4OQ/s1600/image3.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Make a figure 8 with the elastic as shown and hot glue.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CcTuCPZOuF0/VThGib1CMtI/AAAAAAAAOXQ/qV5bORB0g1w/s1600/image4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CcTuCPZOuF0/VThGib1CMtI/AAAAAAAAOXQ/qV5bORB0g1w/s1600/image4.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut out your flower. To attach it, you will need a felt circle. This makes the backing soft on the baby's feet. Ialso use these on the backs of the headbands as well.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P8KAMCMirtY/VThGiiQuqhI/AAAAAAAAOXY/us3Rkg4Ah-s/s1600/image6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P8KAMCMirtY/VThGiiQuqhI/AAAAAAAAOXY/us3Rkg4Ah-s/s1600/image6.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Glue in place like so. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4Wi2_H9GnVo/VThGiiBI6OI/AAAAAAAAOXU/jJFVObfupPs/s1600/image5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4Wi2_H9GnVo/VThGiiBI6OI/AAAAAAAAOXU/jJFVObfupPs/s1600/image5.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add a little rhinestone center or leave plain, either way, these are adorable! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't have a little baby to model these cute little accessories, but if you google search "baby barefoot sandals" you will see several examples of how they are worn! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I LOVE the hexagon tool. One of my faves by far! I also love the charms from Epiphany, so for my project, I decided to pair these with lovely May Arts Ribbon to create a necklace!</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 21.5599994659424px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I got to play with the <a href="https://www.mayarts.com/ribbons/2-inch-burlap-color-edge/" target="_blank">2" Burlap with Colored Edge</a>. This ribbon is fabulous. Immediately, I thought how cute this would be on a wreath, but I have never been able to conquer the art of wreath making.... so I made a few other projects instead! </span></span></span></div>

For my project I decided to create a mini album and decorate the cover with spackle and gelatos. I've never tried this technique, so to me it was kinda cool! You can also use stencils with the spackle, but I just kind of did my own thing. Of course, no mini album would be complete if not adorned with beautiful May Arts ribbons! </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I used some of the new Artful accents to create some fun little tags. These were cut from the Artful Accents Banner, but I thought tags would be cute to add to a layout or a card. It's really nice to have some of these made up, you never know when you will need them! The lace ribbon also adds a nice finishing touch to this project.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For my project, I kept it pretty simple. No one likes to spend a long time wrapping just one present, so this one is quick and easy! For those smaller presents, use unique scrapbooking paper! I love to use Authentique paper. The texture and thickness of it is perfect for wrapping! I added ribbon around and finished off with a bow tied with my bow it all bow maker. On top I added a floral embellishment.</span></div>

Welcome to the May Arts Ribbon Kids Craft Holiday Blog Hop! We are kicking off a 2 day hop with the Ribbonistas to share some fabulous holiday crafts that you can do with your kids this Christmas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fj0bUxhSvts/VG0Qz9XZeHI/AAAAAAAAN9E/lBuFfMCD9Jk/s1600/IMG_2882_pe-watermark.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fj0bUxhSvts/VG0Qz9XZeHI/AAAAAAAAN9E/lBuFfMCD9Jk/s1600/IMG_2882_pe-watermark.png" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always have trouble coming up with craft projects that aren't too advanced and that I can make with my daughter. I must admit, this one wasn't my idea totally... I took to Pinterest (as we all do in crafty times of need) and found this super cute and easy Christmas Tree ornament craft. This was so simple and it would be a great project to make with your kids and give out as gifts or to tie on to presents this year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VUGIVbx_1wI/VG0RiTPRJmI/AAAAAAAAN9U/2nvwjE-vqSk/s1600/IMG_2878_pe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VUGIVbx_1wI/VG0RiTPRJmI/AAAAAAAAN9U/2nvwjE-vqSk/s1600/IMG_2878_pe.jpg" height="320" width="274" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will need a variety of ribbon, some scissors, and a twig. I went outside and picked a little limb off of one of my trees. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SfjZMGfWYxg/VG0Ri-hpX4I/AAAAAAAAN9c/xQ4ptHdGwgo/s1600/IMG_2879_pe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SfjZMGfWYxg/VG0Ri-hpX4I/AAAAAAAAN9c/xQ4ptHdGwgo/s1600/IMG_2879_pe.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simply tie ribbons starting from the bottom. Be sure to leave a small space at the bottom so it will look like your tree trunk. Start to trim the ribbons as you go up making each one slightly shorter than the last. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YK_kiSCBduY/VG0YYM1MdbI/AAAAAAAAN9s/dl7FSgNVEn0/s1600/IMG_2881_pe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YK_kiSCBduY/VG0YYM1MdbI/AAAAAAAAN9s/dl7FSgNVEn0/s1600/IMG_2881_pe.jpg" height="256" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you get to the tip, tie a string to use this as an ornament. Tie a tiny bow to the top to hide where the string was tied on and to crate a finished look. </div>

Welcome to the May Arts Ribbonista Christmas Card Hop! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's never too early to start making Christmas cards. At least in my book that's how it goes. Most paper companies come out with their new Christmas lines in July, so that gives everyone a nice head start, plus, you can always find amazing ribbons to go along when you search the May Arts catalog!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created this card with Authentique Paper's "<a href="http://authentiquepaper.com/products/Believe" target="_blank">Believe</a>" collection. This collection is perfect. Plus, you can get the cardmaking stack which comes with pre-scored cards. Makes things a lot easier when you have to create a bunch of cards! What card would be complete without some yummy ribbon?! I used the 1/2 inch <a href="https://www.mayarts.com/ribbons/1-2-pom-pom-string/" target="_blank">Pom Pom String in Red</a>, 3/8 inch <a href="https://www.mayarts.com/ribbons/3-8-inch-metallic-velvet/" target="_blank">Metallic Velvet in Parrot Green</a>, and 5/8 inch <a href="https://www.mayarts.com/ribbons/5-8-inch-solid-plaid/" target="_blank">Solid/Plaid ribbon in blue</a> for this card. </div>

Welcome to the May Arts Ribbon, Simple Stories. & Xyron blog hop! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For my project, I wanted to display a couple of photos from my trip to the Outer Banks, NC last year. We go every year, but I had a couple of really great photos that I took over the 4th of July. The Simple Stories "Sea to Shining Sea" collection was PERFECT for this project!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by printing some photos from my trip and finding the perfect chipboard banner to do the job.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used my Xyron Mega Runner to adhere the paper to the chipboard.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took this photo at the Cape Hatteras light house... that was before I decided to go up in the lighthouse, that's a once in a lifetime kind of thing ;-)</div>

This was one of my favorite photos, we found a little beach that was pretty private and spent most of our days there. Very serene. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the same beach in the photo above. We actually spent the 4th of July there relaxing and my husband fished a little. I love embellishing with the stickers from this collection kit.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose to display this banner in my hallway over my "beach" shrine. It's the perfect finishing touch!</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I LOVE making banners for the sheer fact that I can make them shine with some lovely May Arts Ribbon. The anchor ribbon is one of my faves and I couldn't wait to use it on this project! </div>

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7d0E6THoms0/U33z-nm5_lI/AAAAAAAAMog/G9pGVNEiwi8/s1600/IMG_8254_pe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7d0E6THoms0/U33z-nm5_lI/AAAAAAAAMog/G9pGVNEiwi8/s1600/IMG_8254_pe.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my project I wanted to create a fun shaker card. I've never made one before and since I always have so much trouble with those lovely mica fragments going everywhere, I thought they would best be contained for this project. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by stamping with VersaMagic and embossing with a white embossing powder. I then rubbed some Radiant Neon inks over top and rubbed the excess off with a paper towel. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mtkILzVFOvU/U33z-jHX4VI/AAAAAAAAMok/DovXKkCs1aw/s1600/IMG_8255_pe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mtkILzVFOvU/U33z-jHX4VI/AAAAAAAAMok/DovXKkCs1aw/s1600/IMG_8255_pe.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

For my project I decided to create a fun little card. I LOVED the Needle Little Love stamp set from Avery Elle. So perfect for cardmaking! I also fell in love with the Butterfly Confetti from UmWow Studio, I knew I had to use it on this project! Of course, what project wouldn't be complete without some lovely ribbon from May Arts?! </div>

For my project I wanted something fun and happy. So I created this little mini 4x6 canvas for my home. I received a set of the Faber-Castell PITT brush markers and I couldn't wait to try them! I used the Taylored Expressions Quatrefoil cutting plate for the background and colored it with the PITT markers. I had 3 colors and was able to create a cool faded effect. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This month's kit is awesome! I just adore the colors and the stamps & dies are "SEW Cute!" I created a mini album for my project today. One of my favorite kinds of mini albums are those made from paper bags. I thought this was perfect and would go along well with the vintage feel to this kit. </span></div>

I made this fun card by spreading some Radiant Neon inks in a rainbow pattern on a piece of white cardstock. I didn't know how it would turn out, so I just played around. These inks are so fun and so beautiful that any card created with them will brighten someone's day. </div>
