I am entering this in the "Week #30 Vintage Halloween" Challenge at The Shabby Tea Room (click on the title of this post or here to go directly there). Please do go and check out all of the entries!
I have had "doing an exhibition style ribbon" on my list for quite some time and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. The image I have used for the center is a vintage Halloween image. I've also broken into my for real, really vintage black crepe paper. I've kept the glitter to a minimum for an authentic aged look. I used the JBS Bingo letters for the title which I think fits perfectly here.
The basic structure is built on 4" beer coasters, I picked up a sleeve of unused ones in a thrift store this summer for $2! I've covered the central image in several layers of Rock Candy Distress Paint. The ribbons are wired ones that I purchased at Michael's. I used wired ribbons to get more overall dimension but you wouldn't have to. I also couldn't find a satin ribbon that was the right tone.
Contact me if you would like a bit more instruction (e-mail button at top right). This has been a fun project and I just might do a couple more!
