Ribbon skirt DIY

I made a ribbon skirt to match my ribbon tree shirt and thought that I would share the how to with you!

What you need
1. Ribbon
2. Scissors
3. Skirt or jeans
4. Sewing Machine or thread and needle for hand sewing



Step1. I used ribbon but you can use bias tape and I just measured the length of the bottom of my skirt and doubled it and cut my ribbon.




Step 2. I took a bunch of ribbon...different color's and sizes and cut them in 31/2" strips.
Then I took my ribbon folded it in half and began pinning those strips onto my main ribbon belt.

Step 3. I turned my skirt inside out and began to sew the ribbon to the inside of my skirt.


Then turn your skirt back in and your done! I hope you enjoy!

I love this project! I do facepainting during Christmas time, so I could see this skirt as a cute facepainter costume as well. ^-^

Thanks for sharing!

Great skirt! I am hoping to adopt an eight year old in the next month. I will definitely be making one for her if things turn out (fingers crossed). If not, I suppose I could force my 15 year old to wear it! haha. Thanks for the great idea.
