You Will Need (5 things)

  • Paint Brush
  • E6000
  • Fabric Stiffener
  • Ring Blank
  • Ribbon

Steps (3 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    Fold your choice of ribbons into perfect bows.

  2. 2

    Use a great fabric stiffener (like Martha Stewarts that we use here) to fully saturate the ribbon bows. Let them dry completely.

    After fully dry you can embellish with paint, glitter or clear gloss!

    **Some ribbons will darken with the fabric stiffener, so do a test piece if you are worried.

  3. 3

    Using E600 (amazingly strong glue) glue each stiffened ribbon bow to a blank ring base and let dry for at least 24 hours.

    Here we cut holes in a box to keep the ring blanks even during the gluing process.
