MAKE IT MONDAY - March 11

Remember the older photo albums and everything was mounted with Photo Corners --- this weeks Make It Monday is Ribbon Photo Corners, the tutorial is a Martha Stewart from 2002. It's an old idea but one that you will use this week. Look for some grosgrain ribbon to make a Photo Corner.


Ribbon Photo Corners






Martha Stewart Living, November 2002

Give a decorative touch to your photo albums by making ribbon mounts. Start with a 3-inch strip of grosgrain ribbon. Fold both ends down at the midpoint to form a triangle; iron. Repeat until you have two or four ribbons for each picture. Slip triangles -- with seams in back -- over corners of photos, and use acid-free double-sided photo tape to affix them to album pages.





Keep watching for the "Find It Friday" and "Sketchy Saturday."

I have not got that far!!!

On my LO, I think it will be a 5 x 7 and a 4 x 6 or 2 - 4 x 6s. I have not found a sketch to work with what I want to do. May have to draw one. LOL

good to know...

neat idea!

I have lots of ribbon!

Cool idea Linda.. can't wait to see what to do with these!!!

That looks interesting but i won't be using the kind of ribbon they suggest

Why not, Bryar?

Cause i don't own any grosgrain ribbon lol

You could use any type, it is just grossgrain is a bit heavier and not slippery live the satin types.

Ah i see. Im on a budget right now so each cent counts!

Do you need ribbon? What colors??

Lol i got ribbon, just not that type.

Here is a sneak peek of mine. I used two different colour ribbon. I glued the grey to the blue. It is on a graduation LO and Blue and Grey were the School Colours.

Sneaky Sneaky!!!

I have tons of ribbon so I'm sure I can do this.
