Just in case you hadn't noticed... I decided for the new year to blog now just Monday thru Friday.... will skip the weekends... but continue to share photos and articles along with some stamping ideas and tutorials... Speaking of which, take a look at this card I found... just in time to practice for Valentine cards...
Jacquie Southas shows how to shape ribbon into a heart by tying knots into a deliberate direction...
Here's the how to...
She tied a simple knot in the center of the ribbon and then two knots on either side. She tied the knots so that the tail headed in the direction needed to create the top of the heart shape.
Note that the knots are mirror images, reinforcing the symmetry of the heart shape. If you find the ribbon doesn't want to stay in the knot, use a glue dot to hold it in place. You do not want to pull the ribbon tight!
The possibilities are endless... now go tie the knot!!
