Hi, another DIY today. I've always loved the shape of the medals you can win in a horse race. Unfortunatly, I never learned riding and I'm pretty bad at sports, so I have no chance to win such a medal. The only way to get a medal was to DIY one! I tried a few times until it worked, but I'm really happy how it came out :)
1. Supplies: You'll need a hot glue gun, a big button, ribbon, paper in the same color, an old map (optional) and scissors.
2. Cut a circle out of the paper with your BIG button (ignore the one on the picture) as a pattern. Next, cut some ribbon in the length you want to have. The ribbon will be the little bow-y thing...
3. Now, cut the ribbon into pieces shaped like the one on the left ( you'll need around ten). Arrange them on your circle of paper, but remember to leave out the bottom, think of the bow-y thing from step 2.
4. Lay your button on the map and draw down the outline. Cut it out and glue it on your button. This step is optional, but I only had pretty ugly button so I decided to embellish it a little bit.
5. Glue time! Glue it all together. But think of this order...
- Lay down the circle
- Glue the arranged ribbon from step 3 on it
- Glue the little tie from step 2 on
- Now you can either just glue the button in the middle or pin it on.
Done! This would make a cute gift for a friend or your parents if it is someone's birthday ( It is my father's birthday today :D ). I hope you liked this DIY.
xoxo, Mary.
