Tutorial for making the “Ribbon Star”

Supplies:
3 ribbons of different widths 9” long (Each) - Cut each at 3” sections
1 – cardstock circle 1 ½ inches
1 – cardstock circle 1 inch
Glue dots
Stapler
Large button


1. Fold the ribbon, both sides meeting – to form a point.
2. Staple to the larger circle
3. Continue stapling the remaining 4 ribbons the same way. This is the bottom
layer and it should start looking like a star.
4. Turn over and cut excess ribbon from the back to cut down on the bulk.
5. Repeat this process with the smallest of the ribbons on the 1" circle
except that this one you staple on top of the circle. Again, cut off excess
ribbon.
6. I used 5 glue dots (must be a strong adhesive) I placed the glue
inside of the larger circle. Position the medium ribbon point between
two larger points. Continue attaching the medium ribbon until all five
have been attached.
7. Glue dot in the back of the small circle and attach it to the large circle.
8. Glue the large button.

You can add flowers to this, small or large – you can add more ribbon. Play around with it and see what else you can come up with.
