This giveaway is part of the Studio 5 segment I did today, which was all about medallions.
Like that? You can watch more of my segments on the Creating Keepsakes website. Thanks for your interest and support!
Now, here's how to make your own medallion base (the fluffy back part).
1. Cut a strip of flexible material (paper, fabric, crepe paper, burlap, felt, etc.) into a 1" x 12" strip.
2. Knot the end of a string several times, and run a basting strip along the bottom edge of the material.
3. Pull the fabric tight along the string to form the medallion shape.
4. With the medallion shape formed, stitch the two ends together and snip any excess thread. With that, you have your medallion base. Now it's just a matter of adding a delightful center.
Here are a few things you can make from a medallion base:
A medallion card
A medallion banner
A medallion gift bag.
A medallion gift bag (would also look cute on an Easter basket).
A medallion wreath, good for Valentine's Day or any other day of the year!
Medallion treats, made using my new cotton candy machine. Yum!
I hope these ideas get you in the medallion mood. For a chance to win the Bravissimo line from Making Memories, please leave a comment between now and this Friday, Sat 19. I'll randomly select a winner from the comments received.
Cheers!
Megan
