Decorated Notebook

Good Morning All

I saw a post on Facebook, it was one of those sites that do demo videos and this one was called Mett Dan I think.
Anyway, it was weaving ribbon to cover a book, easy I thought.
Well, it was easy in my head but then when I started doing it, not quite so easy.
I  never considered the width of the ribbon  to fit the  size of the book cover.
Then I had to fit between the spiral binding.

I eventually got it to work out and stuck a piece of card on the inside to cover all the ends.
It is all done with a hot glue gun.
You can just about see it if you look closely but there was a little pull in the ribbon right in the centre, so I stuck a flower on.



This maybe a little idea to make my ladies at Craft Club only on a smaller scale.

I wn the Crafty Ribbons challenge on Facebook with this too, so worth the work and fiddling about.

    It has turned out so good....I know it's not easy as I once gave it a try and had to abandon after just a few trials!!! Love the color combination too
    Cheers

    Hi Wendy
    Wow, looks amazing.
    Having done a Christmas card for Mr D a couple of years ago in a similar vane, I can well understand how much work went into this.
    Well done on your win. Well deserved.
