I cut a triangle from thick card to make the tree base and then wrapped lengths of various different ribbons aroud it. I've machine stitched a length of wide velour ribbon to the card base and cut a pot from the same ribbon as well. I added a few brads for baubles and a star brad to top the tree off. A stamped sentiment, a bit of piercing and a trio of brads on the right hand side finish it off. I didn't have gold brads so I covered some (and the star) with gold sparkle embossing powder so they all matched.
My original idea was to do some ribbon weaving but I decided I liked the stripes before I started putting ribbons through in the other direction!
Supplies: ribbons from stash, sentiment stamp from MSE set, mini brads, star brad, gold sparkle EP.
Thanks for visiting!
