So I follow this awesome photographer, Lauryn Galloway. She's pretty cool, you should check out her blog. She features different series on handmade weddings, using different themes to make cute DIY projects. I found this idea on her garden wedding theme, and thought it would be perfect to add a little more color to Jamie's shower.
This is a great project to do along with the banner I wrote about earlier, because you can use the same ribbon so it matches and so you don't have to buy as much stuff!
What you need:
2 spools of ribbon (3 yards or less - you don't need much)
Wooden dowel rods - I used one pack of 3/16" (one pack contained 20 rods) - you can buy them at Michael's
Scissors
Saw, or other method of cutting wood (maybe some beast Cutco knives would work)
All you need to do is cut the rods to whatever length you prefer (suggested 8 inches), cut each ribbon to about 5 inch strands, and then tie the ribbon around the dowel rods. The method I used for that, from Lauryn's blog, was pretty simple. Take a ribbon, fold it over on top of itself, wrap one side of the folded ribbon around the rod, and then pull the ribbon through the loop you just created. Then, tug on the ribbon towards one side as you twist the dowel rod in the other direction to get it as tight as possible.
Then, add to a glass of water, limeade, or sparkling grape juice to add a pop of color to your party!
