Have you checked off all your names on your Christmas List yet? The May Arts Ribbonistas have a whole lotta Handmade Christmas Gifts inspiration for you today with their Handmade Christmas Gift Hop! I made some custom, chic bobby pins for my Handmade Christmas Gift, with the help of May Arts Ribbon and our Partner in Craft, Imaginesce.
The ribbons I choose for this coordinating collection of hair accessories were May Arts 2 Toned 1.5" Grosgrain Ribbon in Black/White (EH10), 2" Two Tone Satin Reversible in Black/White (446-2-10), 1.5" Silver Metallic (464-15-31), and 1.5" Grosgrain Ribbon in White (QH01).
I used the i-top tool and snap daddies with bobby pin accessories to make the pins. Such an easy process-just make sure to choose wide enough ribbon to be able to tuck your ends under! (For this side of button, I chose 1.5" inch or wider ribbon).
I dressed up the gift with a handmade tag using another Partner in Craft product, DCWV, Inc.'s Metallic Paper and some 1.25" Black Silk Ribbon (SK10) and 1/2" Solid Black Wrinkle Ribbon (EA10).
Giveaway Alert:: Three Spools of your choice! (Winner selected at random from comments left on the May Arts Blog and participating Ribbonistas' Blogs.)
Here's the hop line-up, but of course, please be sure to visit the May Arts Blog as well!
