I finally decided I should do a ribbon project. Surprise surprise!
Ribs and I opted to do a sweetheart table at the reception, so I wanted to hang something above our table, to denote it and add a little bit of interest to our room.
I liked the big tissue balls from a past MSW issue, but I wanted to do something different. I didn’t document the whole process because I’m bad, but I bought the following materials:
With a hot glue gun, I glued ribbons to the inner hoop of the embroidery hoops. Ribs was kind of enough to model the progress:
The idea is they’ll hang at different heights and the last one will be solid light pink. It was really easy and fast; probably one of the most satisfying DIY projects I’ve done yet.
Do you have a favorite DIY project?
Sooo great!!!!!! What a fun and different idea! I have tried three or so times to make the tissue paper ball things that Martha has on her website and other brides have done here, but I just can’t seem to get it!! lol, so besides that I haven’t really done a lot of diy yet!
wow! what a clever idea. they’re easy to make yet so visually stunning!
I am so excited to see these in action!
I’m a failbride, so I haven’t really done anything yet myself, other than whining. And invites.
Very very cute!
Those look great! Love that you have a ribbon project. 
This is a great and original idea with a lot of impact! They look great!
really cute! And do I see some much-coveted twine in the center? Nice touch.
