Good morning crafters! I wanted to pop in today with one of the two last gifts made for my recent guest. Since we are slowly but surely approaching the season, I thought it only fitting that she have a Christmas Ornament from my house to hers. It’s an ornament made by folding ribbon and I topped it with A Gilded Life Crowned Medallion Bronze by Spellbinders. It’s simply glued on with Fabritac and then a cameo glued on top of the medallion – I used E6000 to secure it but was so tempted to use my trusty hot glue gun.
Since the medallion has a ring, it was easy to thread some silk ribbon through the hole for hanging. I also put a petite bow on the crown for a totally feminine ornament. The ornament is slightly larger than the palm of my hand and hopefully won’t get lost amid all the beauties on her tree.
I adore simple gifts that can be made in a sitting. I was so thankful to get these done in time for her visit. This seemed unique because of the dimension which you can see below. It’s a balanced ornament but would be just as lovely laying on a table – the back is flat. Stay tuned, I’m playing around with this type of project so that I know all the ins and outs – when I have it down pat, I’ll share.

WOUW how beautiful isn´t this wonderful ornament here, and yes it´ll be just perfect, whether it´s hanging on a wall or laying on a table, and it´s just absolutely stunning.I´m blown away with the beauty in it here, and I´m sure your sister was too, no doubt about that, and she´ll definitely be treasuring it forever, I´m sure.

Gosh, how lovely is this? Your sister must have been thrilled with this tree decoration. A wonderful keepsake which will bring back beautiful memories every time she dresses her tree. Hugs Christine xx
Oh Becca, this is absolutely stunning! I love it and would like to try making one. Are you going to share how you did the ribbon? Also, is the wreath made out of metal? Guess I should check out the link to Spellbinders. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful ornament.
With your incredible talent, why on earth would you need to take a class? You could teach the socks off of any teacher!!
Becca,
This is lovely. I might use it for a stunning broach on a coat or suit jacket. Certainly would be a statement piece!

GORGEOUS!!!!! I hope you can do a tutorial on it!!
I absolutely love this piece! I would love to make a bunch for my Christmas tree :o) They could also be used as tags on gifts as well. Or hanging on a garland.
This broach type ornament is just gorgeous and I can’t wait to see your instructions on how to make it. Just beautiful!
Ah, that is beautiful, Becca! I bet it has a place of honor on her tree – it truly is lovely! I’d put that in one of the single hook ornament hangers on a mantel or shelf, counter – something like that, to really show it off. Just gorgeous! THanks for sharing!

Hello Becca
Goodness that is such a beautiful gift!
I have never noticed the medallion before …I must read your instructions again to take it all in!
Such a lovely thing to make.
Take care
Love Marg
Very pretty ornament. I like making and receiving ornaments.
What a beautiful gift for your sister! I have no doubt she loved it because it’s stunning. It amazing that you made this from ribbon and a few baubles. I cannot wait to see how you are folded the ribbon.
Wow, Becca, this ornament is spectacular!
It’s ALWAYS a treat when I see your post in my inbox.
Love and blessings,
Sandy
I was wondering what the base was made off?!
Wow you made it with Ribbon!! Beautiful!
Anyone would be tickled pink to recieve this.

That is a lovely ornament, Becca. I love the folded ribbon effect – it’s so elegant!
I’m wondering what the back of the ornament looks like. Is it as pretty as the front?
I do have a comment about the E6000. I have glued many cabochons to fabric, ultrasuede, etc., and this is the best product for the job – it will last much longer. Good choice!
You are such an amazing crafter Becca. This is stunning!!!!!! I am sure this will be one of your sister’s favorite ornaments that she can cherish year after year. It is a beauty made even more special because it came from you!
Marcie

Good morning Becca, what a beautiful gift for anyone to receive : ) I bet your sister was over the moon to get this!!! Happy times!!!
Have a good one!!!

Becca, your sister must have been thrilled to receive this beautiful ornament from you. It’s so obvious that it was made with so much love!
Oh so pretty. You spent a lot of time making that! I know your sister is thrilled with it. It is so feminine. Love the soft colors. You can never go wrong with a cameo. Thank you again for sharing with all of us. I can’ wait for the directions. Blessings, Lisa
Oh Becca, this ornament is not only feminine and elegant, but also royal! What a beauty you made for your sister. She must have let out another squeal when she unwrapped this gift from you. When I go to the craft store again, you will have me looking more closely at the TH trickets.
Is it possible to provide a link to the ornament directions?
What a beautiful ornament! I can’t imagine how your sister reacted when she saw this sweet gift from you. I really hope that you will show us how you folded the ribbon so we can give this a try. All of your creations are so pretty. Thank you for sharing!
Wowey! Fabulous! Bet your sister was chuffed! Looking forward to the how to….
Beautiful ornament, Becca!
A wonderful gift :))
This is truly a lovely gift I’m sure she’ll treasure and remember the good times you shared on her visit to your home.
Absolutely gorgeous! Any guest would LOVE to receive this gift.
This is so beautiful & such a thoughtful gift for your friend. I bet she puts it in a very noticeable spot on her tree.
OH YES, DO SHARE BECCA!!!!!! THIS IS LOVELY!!!!! ;) I’M SURE she LOOOOVED IT & it will get a SPECIAL place on her tree!!! ;)(It would on mine!)
This is an absolutely gorgeous ornament, Becca. Love the choice of ribbon! White & gold are so elegant. Your friend is lucky to have you as a friend. Lol
I love E6000 glue, even though it has an extended drying time. Works very well when my glue gun has failed me. It is great stuff for out here in the summer desert where it can get so hot, you don’t need the gun…..only the glue! Lol
Wow; drop dead gorgeous! Would love to know how to make one.
Hello Becca,
I am blown away by how beautiful this is, and I look forward to a tutorial please.

so gorgeous! so royal!
[…] initially going to be another ornament just like the one from earlier this week that you can see HERE but a moment of serendipity created this and led me down the road to make the brooch. Score!! […]
Do you show how to fold the ribbon to make this and how much ribbon is needed, etc.?
So unusual, so creative! Nice work!
Your sister is going to have wonderful memories of your time together flooding back when she hangs this on her tree! So precious – in more ways than one!
Hugs
