What to do with "leftovers"?????

Hi there!! I know I'm not a good blogger, slacking alot.... haha!! Ok, I have here some handmade stuff that I would like to share. I learned from Utube how to make this ribbon rose, just type in ribbon rose on the search bar, and there are tons of tutorials to choose from. So just pick any one.

As a first timer, I used a wired riboon to make the rose, its easier because the wire helps to hold it better in place. After making the rose... I added a feather and some pearl strings under the rose and laid down on another round gathered satin ribbon(does that make sense???). And, this is what I have, a little embellishment for my projects....... :D I'm happy with the result, never knew I could do something like this, I also made a very tiny one and it worked!!! SURPRISE!! 0.o" didn't realise I have skillful fingers, LOL!!!






The other thing I did was organising all my laces which I bought recently from Singapore.... So I made my own ribbon spools from leftover chip pieces, scrap papers and the center piece of the Kitchen Towel Roll......or the the center piece of the Lint Roller.



This is from the lint roller.




Kitchen Towel center piece, leftover chipboards and scraps......




Here are my ribbon spool, you can leave them plain or cover them with scrap papers.



Can have the sides in different shaps and sizes.





This 1 here, both the sides are in square and I rounded the corner. :D


Just some thoughts to share.........!!

Have a great weekend everybody!!! Enjoy whatever you are doing..... with friends, with family!!

Bye for now.
