Pretty Little Things by Xtine - Part 3 - Ribbon Heart Chandelier

Ribbon Heart Chandelier
 

Over the last few weeks, I have been trying to find  ways of using up the ribbon that i had so i was searching on Youtube and blogs to try and make good use of them but instead i saw something that was rather appealing to me and i did not end up using the ribbon that i already had but instead make use of some curling ribbon that had been lying at the bottom of my drawer.

Here is my version of a ribbon heart chandelier, hope u guys like it ^^




This is my first attempt at making this so there are some areas i would change if i made another one for instance, i would not use wool as the string to hold the ribbon balls and paper/straw stars as the wool frayed when i used the hot glue gun.  For the structure of the chandelier, you can't see it but its actually a rice krispies box which i used to create the oval shape and i basically covered that with coloured paper and used shiny curling ribbon to create the stripes =) 

Recycle what you have and put them in good use ^^
