Rainbow Ribbons

 Oh, I love this one. 

I've been looking for creative ideas to use in music, movement and rhythm fun for the 

upcoming school year. 

I've seen ribbon bracelets where there is one large ribbon connected to a fabric bracelet. 

I thought it would be fun to make a ribbon bracelet that reflected a rainbow. The bracelet, white, like a cloud. The ribbons, one of every color, like a rainbow. I think it turned out really cute and my girls were quite thrilled. 

Here is how you can make your own Rainbow Ribbon.

  I used white satin cut into a 19"x7" rectangle. One 3/4" elastic cut into a 7" long piece. I also used 1/4" Polyester ribbon cut into 24" lengths.(One of each color of the rainbow.

First stack and sew the ribbons in rainbow order .

Then iron your rectangle in half and fold up the ends 

so that you can sew down the side 5/8".

Make sure you pin your rainbow ribbon at the end of your rectangular strip so that you can sew it in place.

 Reinforce stitch the ribbons in place. 

                 Carefully trim the edge of the seam.                         

Turn out the satin piece, thread the elastic through and

sew the elastic ends together.

Then over lap the satin ends, pin and then sew into place.

Basically, it's like a scrunchie with ribbons flowing out of it. 

Super simple!!!

Finished!

Gorgeous!

 

Ready for some music.
