Remember this super cute card featured last Friday in the button challenge gallery by Dawn Woleslagle?

Well I desperately wanted to learn how to make that beautiful ribbon wreath and Dawn has so graciously headed my pleas! Thank you thank you! Visit her blog and see how to make a ribbon flower by clicking here.

For the wreath, instead of doing a running stitch straight down the center of the ribbon, zig-zag stitch from side to side; this produces the tightly ruched effect instead of ruffles.

stitchingThanks so much for the tutorial Dawn, I’m off to try and make some myself. If I start now perhaps I can have enough of them made for my Christmas card next year :)

Paige Evans

I've been scrapbooking since I was 16 years old and love the hobby more each day! I enjoy making things by hand - from cards and layouts to books and baskets. My day is not complete unless I've made something. I'm the Copy Editor for the Northridge magazines and love all the inspiration I get from seeing everyone's creations. On a more personal note, we're expecting our first baby, a boy, in October and we couldn't be more thrilled!

    Wow!! Love the flower and the wreath. My mom taught me the zig zag technique a few months back but I didn’t use it so well… I’ll try it again! ;-)

    Thank you!
