I have seen many of these things here & there. But none really appealed to me. I didn't want to paint, no wood involved & cheap & easy PLEASE. So here is what I came up with.
36" of 1 1/2" wide ribbon, 1 - 1 1/2" "D" ring, and the felt & button are optional.
Wrap the ribbon under & over the flat side of the "D" hook & pin.
Stitch across to secure the "D" ring there. You can call it good & go hang it up & use it. But I wanted to cute-ify mine, just a teeny bit.
I gave myself 30 minutes from start to finish for this project so I had a washer laying on my craft table & decided to trace that. No time to look for another circle object to trace.
I opted to cut it out with my new pinking sheers. Why have I not had a pair of these ever before?!
This is where I was in debate.....I decided to stitch the button on with green thread. I should have taken the 2 minutes & gotten the embroidery floss out, I think that would have been chunkier & cutier. Too late! So after stitching it on I hot glued it to the ribbon up by the "D" ring.
I ran the bottom of the ribbon across the flame to finish the edge
Voila!
Much better than what I had before!
