It's time for the wonderful Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop, and this month's SPOOKY FUN Ribbon Club Assortment will delight you. This Blog Hop will take you on five (5) stops in total. You should have arrived here by way of Bonnie's Blog; but if not, you can get caught up quickly. Each of the five stops will inspire you by showing you a wide variety of projects using this month's adorably spooky Halloween themed Ribbon Club Assortment.
The first project I'm sharing for this blog hop is a small plastic candy/treat box that's filled with gumballs. I tied a length of the 5/8" Black Delicate Stitch Satin Ribbon around the treat box and topped that with a length of Orange Plaid Ribbon With Black Stitching. I also added some bundled Parrot Green Burlap String and Black Burlap String on my treat box. I attached a cute little wooden hand-painted cat on the front using a small piece of Scor-Tape to secure it.
I made a bow for the top of this gumball treat box, but you can't see it very well. It includes a few trims from this month's Ribbon Club Assortment including a piece of the 5/8" Black Delicate Stitch Satin Ribbon which is layered underneath the Orange Plaid Ribbon With Black Stitching. There's also a piece of the adorable 3/8" Green Checkerboard Satin Ribbon, 5/8" Tangerine Taffeta Ribbon and 3/8" Cat & Ghost Print on Black Grosgrain Ribbon on top of the treat box.
On the very top, I attached a small (fake) bag of candy corns; which is a Jolee's piece. It's just a FUN little candy treat for gift-giving to all the little ghouls and goblins who will come knocking on our doors in a few short weeks. Really Reasonable Ribbon has ALL the perfect ribbons, trims and products to help you create something SPOOK-tacular.
I have one more quick little project to share with you today before you run off to your last stop. This CUTE little pumpkin was created with just ONE trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon - their Natural JUTE. This was created by taking one small length of the Jute and knotting it into one small circle. Next, you wrap more of the Jute loosely around the tied piece until the pumpkin is your desired size and thickness. I used a small twig for the "pumpkin stem". You can make various sizes of these pumpkins based on how big you make your original tied circle of Jute.
Your next stop on this brief Blog Hop is back at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog. Be sure to leave a comment on each blog along the way, and then answer the question back on the RRR Blog so that you'll be entered into the random drawing for this month's awesome Ribbon Club Assortment. Thanks so much for joining us, and remember Really Reasonable Ribbon for all your ribbon needs. Good luck in the random draw, everyone.
Blessings,
Karen

ReplyDeleteSuch cute projects! That is my kind of candy corn! I love the look of it, but it’s a little too sweet and rough on the hips. 😉
ReplyDeleteI agree...the word ADORABLE aptly describes this treat box project! Love all the Halloween colors you've included! My favorite feature is the layered ribbons...nice way to include 2 different colors and widths of ribbon. Really nice!

ReplyDeleteGreat projects! I love the way you decorated the treat box, and the jute pumpkin is adorable!
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness, your treat bag is so darn cute! If my child came home with this I would snatch that candy corn embellishment up for my next project. Of course, my child is waaayyyy past the age of trick-or-treating now. Your house must be a fun stop! Fabulous use of the ribbon. The jute pumpkin is amazing! It's an interesting idea and turns out so cute! Karen, thanks for sharing in our Two Old Bats Halloween challenge!
