Must try this ribbon and eyelet technique from
IT'S BRILLIANT and I have so may eyelets!
Here's her idea copied directly from her site:
Step 1: Gather materials. You can do this at any step of the card process. In this photo, I am about 1/2 done. You will need 2 colors of ribbon, an eyelet, an eyelet setter, and a pair of scissors. This is a great time to use ribbon scraps!
Step 2: Set the eyelet. Don't worry about getting a smooshed look. Set it tightly to get a big hole. The smooshed look is not likely to be seen, especially with 2 ribbons.
Step 3: With your 1st ribbon (apricot for this card), wrap it around the edge of the card and tie it only once. Don't make a 2nd tie to secure it.
Step 4: Slip the 2nd ribbon (mustard on this card) underneath the apricot ribbon.
Step 5: Tie the mustard ribbon over the apricot ribbon. You will need to pull the ribbons to secure it. Go back and forth between the apricot and mustard ribbons as you tighten it to your satisfaction. Be careful not to pull so tight (like on this card) that it tears the card base.
Follow the link to see a card with wider ribbon. I think it's actually easier with wider ribbon, but that's just me. {wink} Ballet Sophia
Follow the link to see a card with skinnier ribbon (I like that word "skinnier". Wish it explained me. LOL!) There's more room and allows side to side ties. It's also a lot easier to thread both ribbons through the eyelet. Paper Piecing Jimbo & the Gang
