About this Event
You deserve an award! But don’t wait around for someone else to give you one — we’ll help you make one for yourself. Or maybe you could bestow a prize on someone in your life who’s earned a little extra recognition. OR simply commemorate a favorite phrase, quote or lyric in a fun and crafty way.
You’ll use wool felt, ribbon, beads, sequins and lots of other fun embellishments from our stash to make your ribbon. We’ll teach you a few simple stitching techniques, like blanket stitch and running stitch, but don’t worry, they’re not difficult, and frankly, you can skip them if you want. Mostly, you’ll play with color and texture until you’ve created a well-deserved award for yourself or a loved one.
The workshop includes:
- Wool-blend felt in a rainbow of colors for the base of your prize ribbon.
- Beads and sequins to spell out your phrase and add some extra sparkle.
- Ribbons, trims and other embellishments for even more pizazz.
- A needle, thread, scissors, glue and everything else you’ll need.
- A brooch pin so you can proudly wear your award (or pin it to your bag). If you’d prefer to display your ribbon on a wall, cabinet knob, bulletin board, etc., we’ll show you how to do that too.
- Instructions, tips, inspiration and friendly chitchat.
Bring some ideas for what you want your ribbon to say, and we’ll provide the rest!
This workshop is for crafters 14 to adult.
