Pictures on Ribbons


     These are some examples of hanging your photos (or other items) from ribbons.  The top and top right photos are created by measuring 3 lengths of ribbon from to to so they end up being about 12 inchs.  Then cut 3 mat or use tag (see right side photo) You can either glue to mats to to the bottom section of the ribbon or use eyelets and draw the ribbon through the eyelet that you put in the mat.  The top of the ribbon will be folded behind your page and taped down to secure them.  With mine, I used 3 mats, one on the bottom section of each of the ribbons and journaled by story across the three mats.  Then take different size photos and use your glue runner or glue gun to secure them to the upper and mid sections of the ribbons.  It gives a very nice dangling ribbon effect.
     The bottom page uses pretty much the same technique, but all eyelets are used.  After securing your photos to whatever frames/mats you choose, put an eyelet in each one.  I did 3 ribbons and there are 3 photos hanging from each ribbon.  Draw your ribbon through the first photo's eyelet then behind the border at the top and tie the ends together.  Then put another eyelet at the bottom of that photo and get another ribbon. Draw the ribbon through the bottom of the top photo and the top of the middle photo and tie the ribbon.  Repeat this step for the bottom photo so that there are 3 photos tied in a line.  Then repeat this for the next 2 lines of ribbon.
