snb-seam binding tutorial...

edited:  to include additional info on the glimmer mists!

i love the look of seam binding ribbons.  i started out buying them, but, its cheaper to make your own.   on my card i used the ribbon a tan color.  the cupcake is one of alison's new images.  you can find the cupcake here.

these are the products i used.  they can be found online and in scrapbook stores. 

i did mine outside on my deck, because its a messy process.  and you will want to wear gloves while doing this.

i used several different types of mists-they are all pretty much the same, so buy the cheapest you can find.  if your interested,  you can find tutorials on how to make your own mists, too. 

the steps are easy.

1.  dampen the ribbon and cut into 3' strips. 

2.  mist a piece of ribbon randomly, then, scrunch it up.  unfold it, spray again, scrunch, again.  here is what mine looked like before they were dry.

3.  when the ribbon is the color depth you want, just scrunch it into a ball, and let it dry.  (it dried quickly outside)

that's it, your done!

that's it, your done!  and here is a close up of it dry.

thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend:)
