Teach Me Tuesday- Satin Ruffle Trim Embellishment

Welcome everyone to the MB's Treasurista Teach Me Tuesday! This Tuesday, I'll be showing you how to create a Satin Ruffle Trim embellishment. Super easy and quick to create with only a few supplies.

Here's what you'll need:

1. 2 x 12'' pieces of ruffled satin trim.

2. 1 piece of 12'' x 1/2'' piece of chipboard.

3. 12'' of decorative trim.

Here's how to make it:

1. With your glue gun, glue down your satin ruffled trim to one side of your chipboard. I chose to make my pieces 12 inches long but you don't have to. If you wanted to use this for a card, just cut it all shorter.

2. With your glue gun again, take your second piece of satin ruffled trim and glue it right beside your first piece of trim. Your pieces of trim should be butted up as close together as you can. You don't want any large visible gaps.

3. Trim your edges. Then take your lighter and lightly melt your edges. This will secure your fabric and will keep your fabric edges from fraying.

4. Next, take your decorative trim and glue it down onto your seam. Do not add too much glue. You'll want it to be secure but not have glue seeping out of the edges.

Voila! you're done! Try this technique with laces and other trims for a completely different look!

Evening Bag

This evening bag started out with a template from LSH for the evening bag swap. I used two 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of light weight chipboard. I painted the inside and outside with white gesso. Then using mod podge i covered the outside with two different designer papers from the GCD Studios paper pad "Ella Blue" (My Favorite....hehe). Then i used some cream 6" flat lace and covered the main part of the bag. I place dangle trim around the bottom, then added a loopy pearl trim over the ribbon portion. On top of the the main part of the pearl trim i added sequin flower trim. On the flap i used a Tim holtz on the edge die to achieve the gorgeous ornate border. I edged the flap with the sequin flower trim all around except for the top edge. On the top edge i used "frosted Lace" Stickles to just give it a little sparkle with minimum dimension. On the top side of the purse, i added three rows of the sequin flower trim. I also added the same trim to the top edge on the back side. I used some pearl cording for the handle. I punched a 3/16" hole with my crop-a-dile on each side. I made a knot on one end of the cording and fed it through both sides, then made another knot on the other end. The purse is sturdy enough to actually use it as an Evening Bag.

I used a flower charm I had in my stash to cover the closure. It matched perfectly and already had the dangling pearl. I think it really added a contrasting eye catching piece to the flap.

 I dressed up this satin flower by replacing the center with a Tim Holtz button. I then took Glossy Accents and dabbed all over the flower. Then covered it with Diamond Dust. This was the perfect touch to match the texture of the flower trim.

 On the inside of the bag i covered it with flocked design paper from the same paper collection. You can see i used Velcro for the closure. There seem to be an issue with the Velcro being too powerful and ripping the paper, so i cut down the soft fiber and filed down the hard plastic side until it just catched a little.

 I filled it with goodies ofcourse and then i was done. It was fun and easy. I hope you guys will give this a try.

Before

          Construction:           I started with about 7 sheets of 12"x12" white board, that you can get from Joanns. Its about the same as light weight chipboard. I traced a  9" circle and measured to get 9 equal sections, each section is about 3in wide at the bottom.  Then i scored and cut on one of the score lines to the center. I also scored from one corner to another at the edge of each section to get an octogon. Then folded all the score lines and brought 2 sections together overlaping, creating a octogon cone shape. With some hot glue, i now had my top. Then i cut another 8" circle and made 8 sections and placed it under the top to make a ceiling and so it would be easy to attatch the railings and posts. Then cut a 1 1/4"x12" strip. I scored at a 1/4" to make a 1"x12" section (you will need 2 of these). Then scored every 2 3/4". I cut off the excess and made slits on the 1/4" side at each score mark. Then i folded and  glued the 1/4" side onto the ceiling to make a 1" hanging lip. For the railing, i started by making 3" post and caps. The post was easy to make by cutting a 12"x3" strip, then scoring every 1/4". Using 5 sections i scored and folded them together, to make a quare. Make sure for the 5th section that you trim just a little off, it will help for a better square. With the post caps, i made a hexagon and scored, cut, and glued the same as i did for the top. I then place the cap in the post and marked where they touched to trim off the tip of the cap. The rails were put together with 1/4"x2 1/2" strips. The tip of the railing strips were cut at about 45 deg on each end for the back 3 sections. The side sections did not need this angle. I placed 6 more 3" post on top of the origional post to make the height 6". For the lattuce, i made one big 12"x12" lattuce. I measured the sections and made a template, then place the template over the lattuce at a diagonal and traced. I cut them out then fitted them in each of the back 3 sections. I then made two 6" post for the front and attatched every thing to the top. I decorated the inside, then glued it all to the bottom section, which is a 10" circle with 8 sides. I also made a 1/2" lip.

After

I painted the top with sage green and white acrylic paint. Also used Folk Art crackle medium. I also used sequin and pearl flower trim on the top edge. I also use white shabby rose trim painted with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Spray in "Frosted Forget Me Nots".

I used a 1 1/2" rose, and 3 1" roses from I Am Roses for the topper. Also painted the roses with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Spray in "Frosted Forget Me Nots". 

I used white 6" flat lace and white tulle for all the swags. I tied each of them with a painted I Am Roses flower. I also placed the flat lace on the outside of the back, from the bottom to the top, accross all three sections.

I place some gorgeous dangle trim in the window on each side. I covered the ribbon with the sequin flower trim.
