Christmas Ribbon Tree With Pearl Star

Happy holidays everyone! Tammy here with a fun ribbon Christmas tree tutorial using my favorite Hot Wire Cutter from Proxxon Tools.

Supplies used:
Tree form
Ribbon
Straight pins
Smoothfoam
Ann Butler Designs Iridescents from Earth Safe Finishes
Star image

How I made it:

Cut ribbon pieces about 6 inches 
Fold them in half and secure each one with a straight pin.


Print and cut out a star image and trace the image onto a piece of Smoothfoam
Cut the Smoothfoam as shown in this tutorial video:
I painted my star with Ann Butler Designs Iridescents from Earth Safe Finishes in the Russet color
I added pearl push pins as decorations to the star 
Secure the star to the top of the tree with more pearl push pins.
I love how my tree turned out! It looks so cute with the Rustic Christmas Wreath I made in my last post. I hope this gives you some ideas on how easy it is to use the Proxxon Hot Wire Cutter
The possibilities are endless!

I love to see your projects! Tag me on Instagram @TammySmithSantana

Fall Ribbon Wreath

Hi everyone, Tammy here from the Proxxon Tiny Tool Design Team with a tutorial on how to use the Proxxon Hot Wire Cutter to cut and heat seal ribbon.

 I made this cute Harvest Ribbon Wreath using just a few supplies:
Wire wreath form
Ribbon
Fall decorations from the Dollar Store 
LED light strand from the dollar Store

  
 First I cut the ribbon into 8 inch pieces using the Proxxon Thermocut Hot Wire Cutter, and then I tied each piece to the wreath form as shown in this short video...




I used a LED strand of lights to make a lighted garland by tying the additional ribbon pieces to the strand of lights as shown in this short video.
 
I added some Fall decorations to the wreath for additional interest.

I love how the wreath and garland turned out, I think it looks cute with some of the other projects I've created this month. Cutting and heat sealing the ribbon was so easy with the Proxxon Hot Wire Cutter.
