A Little Piece Of Altered Art

I've been meaning to decorate this tin for a while now and wanted to use it for all the lovely ribbons I've brought lately from Poppicrafts, as my other ribbon tin is full. I know I'm made about ribbons.... but its good to have a nice selection - well that's what I tell myself anyway, lol

So as I'm using it to store my new ribbons, I decided to decorated it with a few of them. I made a ribbon flower (my first one too) for the top of the tin and had great fun making it too... I felt like I had achieved something, I know it sounds silly but their such good fun to make. I didn't want to completely decorate it so only used 2 pieces of ribbon for the base and added a few flowers here and there to fill in the gaps.





Thanks for stopping by and I'd also like to thank everyone who visits me and for your lovely comments x
