Got a hot mess of ribbon scraps? Here is a super cute, quick and easy idea to use the scraps for packaging presentation. This is perfect if you are short on time to wrap a gift and would also make for an adorable favor presentation.
The quantity of candles you create can be used to reflect the recipient's age, or you can just fill the entire area with colorful candles. Another cute variation would be to glue the ribbon on in the shape of a letter or number.
Junk you need:
Ribbon scraps of any shape, size color
Double stick tape (or purple glue gun if you prefer)
Gold or yellow glitter (you could yellow felt or tissue paper if you prefer not to glitz)
Glue
Any bag, box or wrapped gift you have ready to dazzle (I used a small kraft favor box and a straight up brown paper lunch bag)
Exhibit A:
hot mess of scrap craft ribbon we all seem to have
gather up ribbon, bags, boxes, tape, glue and glitta
choose your ribbon scraps for project
lay them out before you adhere to make sure they will fit
I prefer to use all the same widths of ribbon for each project, I just vary the candle heights
cut candles straight across bottom and then angle cut up top
for this sample, I chose a plain old brown paper lunch bag
adhere candles to bag or box
free style glue "flames," then glitter
if you do not have glitter or hate it, you can glue a felt or tissue paper flame instead
if you have fancy scalloped scissors-put them to use and create a jazzy top
the brown paper lunch bag-elevated
thinner ribbon on a cute little box
and..there you go:)
make a wish
Hope you can find a little "flame" of inspiration in this tute. Come on, funny:)
