| Gift Sachets
Use scraps of ribbon to create these little pyramids which make great ornaments for the tree or a unique way to count down the days 'til Christmas. Of course you'll need to cut them open to reveal the surprise gift inside.
|
| Materials: ribbon scraps at least 4" wide
narrow ribbon for hanging
needle and thread
|
| Technique: |
| a) Choose a ribbon which is 2 times the width of the ribbon in length. |
| b) Fold the ribbon in half and sew the selvage edge of the ribbon and the cut ends of ribbon together with either a decorative stitch with a sewing machine or a simple blanket stitch by hand. |
| c) To create the pyramid effect, gather the cut edge to the folded edge of the length of ribbon. Insert a loop for hanging and a small gift and stitch it closed. |
