ribbon chain tutorial



 
Ribbon chains are just like the old fashioned
paper chains but made with ribbon.
These are so easy to make and the kids can help too. 
 
 
Grab some ribbon in at least two colours but of
course you can have as many colours as you like.
 

 
Cut them with pinking shears so
they don't fray, to the same length.
Then just loop them and secure them by stapling them.

 
Hang them on your tree
or drape them around the room.
 
The easiest but prettiest decorations ever!
 
I think I'll pop these Under the Christmas Tree
on Sunday , will you be joining in?

under the Christmas Tree is back!

 
Under the Christmas Tree is back!
 
Last year I started a linky thing for all Christmassy things
that you have prepared for the festive season.
 
Bloggers from all over linked up their recipes, homemade gifts
decorations and menus.
 
We were all so inspired and impressed at the creativity
that I thought it would be a shame not to do it again.
 
Have a look here and see what happened
one week last year.
 
It's easy to join in just link up whatever you
 have planned for Christmas.
It can be anything ~ show us your Christmas lights, your tree,
something you have made or a recipe
you are planning to use.
We also loved seeing the decorations!
 
This year the linky will go up each Sunday
and I would be so happy if you joined in
especially as it will only go for seven weeks, eeeek!
 
Will you be joining us?
 
 
Copy and paste this cute little button into
your sidebar and link it back here to
let your friends know you're playing.
