Layered Beaded Ribbon Lace Seam binding Tailed DIY Bow Tutorial

Hello, my friends,
Today I would like to share with you a step by step tutorial on how to make layered beaded ribbon/seam binding/lace tailed bow
Something like that...

Step 1. 18-inch ribbon (in this case seam binding); face ribbon wrong side up

Step  2. fold tails of ribbon on itself 4inch from both ends; crease

 Step 3. mark 1.5 inches from the edge (do for both ends); sew or glue on the mark

 Step 4. left the end of the folded ribbon fold on the mark of 3 inches from the edge

Step 5. fold the right side of folded ribbon away from you (about on 3-inch mark from the edge); your ribbon should be folded in a Z fold

 Step 6. while holding layers in the center spread loops in all directions, like a star; secure layers by sewing or gluing; be sure tails of the ribbon will be on the same side

 Step 7.  take about 8 inches of beaded string; fold it in half and cross into “breast cancer” loop; glue to the #6

 Step 8. take complimentary material  about 10 inches (it can be lace, another shade of ribbon, sequin trim or all together); tie a simple bow with the same length of tails as at #6; glue on top of #7

 Step 9. choose your final centerpiece; adhere to #8

 Enjoy the final product...

Loaded Envelope using 4x6 cards

Hello my friends,
Today I would like to share with you another Loaded Envelope, I created for my dear friend Luisa
You already have seen related projects: Shaker Envelope Card, Jumbo Wobbly Wand and Envelope Flip Book Snail Mail.
Now we can make an envelope, decorate it and load.
I am using the same pack of cards that I worked with before

 In the process video below you can find out how I created this envelope base

 Front

Back

Now we can start loading it...
You already know that we are putting inside:
1. Beautiful shaker card made with envelope and one of the cards from collection + extra goodies (lace, beads, sequence, project life chipboard pieces)

2. Jumbo Wobbly Wand + 1st one that I made as a test...

3. Envelope Flip Book Snail Mail

4. We had to make a tag... I didn't do a special segment on this part of the project, because it is very simple. I used one of the larger Project Life cards as a base and made attached shaker box

 I used lace and yarn to attach shaker box to a note card

 Inside shaker box I put blindsided smaller PL note card and some other shaker elements

 On the tag itself I positioned Heidi Swaps decorative frame and added a sticker...

So we got that done...
5. How about recycled pencil? Yes, we absolutely need that one inside

And some extra goodies of course....
Lets load our envelope on outside as well
Front

 In first pocket I tucked in: wrapped in gift bag small project life note cards and one of those I put on outside. I decorated see through gift bag with LOVE heart dangling tag that is attached to recollection rose

 on the other side of this pocket I tucked some small rosettes and wire leaf spray, that I decorated with mesh

 handmade bow topped with Recollections rosette..... and some paper doilies of course

 Our adorable wands.....

 And on the back of the Loaded Envelope .....

 I created a pocket with chipboard word HELLO (using piece from Project life)

 tucked more Project Life note cards

  and decorated it all with altered jumbo paper clip.... using lace fabric from my stash, recollection rose, dangling eye-wring and back it all up with crochet doily

 I made another decorative straw that is topped with handmade deco cupcake and a layered bow

 I hope you like this project!
Thank you for spending some time with me. See ya next time!
XO-XO-XO, Natasha
