Glue Arts and May Arts week

 Hello friends! This week it's May Arts sponsorship over on the Glue Arts blog. I always look forward to being sponsored by May Arts, they just have the most gorgeous ribbon varieties, and I love how they send us so many thick and wide ribbons. It's such texture bliss!! My project isn't just pretty, but it feels so nice too, with the velvet and satin ribbons! 


Designer Tip- You can create this whole pillow as a no sew project if you don't have a sewing machine. Use Glue Arts Hot Glue Gun to simply hot glue the fabric together as you would have sewn it, turn it right side out and embellish as shown.

Note- I even used a bit of my own crinkled seam binding on this pillow- see the bow, that is my Twilight color.

Instructions

1. Cut an 8x8 piece of doubled fabric, then trim pieces of ribbon to fit across and down fabric length with a slight overlap.
2. Use Fabric Bond to adhere ribbons to fabric and each other in a basket weave pattern.
3. Heat set using warm iron.
4. Turn right sides together and sew 3 edges of fabric, turn right side out and stuff with fiberfill, then hand stitch open hole closed.
5. Use Hot Glue gun to attach lace across bottom parts of pillow. Knot both ends of a 8 inch piece of ribbon, hot glue to top of pillow for handle.
6. Use hot glue to create ribbon roses, attach to top of pillow with more hot glue, adding in glitter stems, ribbon and button with twine.
