Girls Ribbon Jewelry with Gwen Studios

 Hi Everyone!

I had to create a couple more things with the beautiful ribbon and patches that I received from Gwen Studios.  I also tried out their Snap Setting Tool, which was super easy to learn to use.

Here's what you get in the Snap Setting Tool box:

This photo is from the Walmart site, where it is priced at $20.97.  It comes with snaps of different colors and shapes as well as different dies to fit the snaps.

I created a Unicorn Necklace and a Ribbon Bracelet:

They were so quick and easy to make.  Now, that I made one, I know I'll need more for the other little girls in my family. Or, we can have a craft party, because these are easy enough for the kids to do.

To make the unicorn necklace, I backed the unicorn patch with stiff felt using glue.  Since the felt is synthetic, I didn't want to use an iron.  Then, I glued two lengths of grosgrain ribbon to the back.  I applied the snaps to the ends of the ribbon, which I turned under to finish it.  The Snap Setting Tool is very easy to use and can be used with both plastic and metal snaps.

For the bracelet, I used a wider pink grosgrain ribbon under the polka dot ribbon.  I used heart-shaped plastic snaps for the fasteners.  I started with 9" of each ribbon and turned each end under 1".  It fits a 6 1/2" wrist.
