For this woven Vintage Ribbon Scrap booking Cover Craft Project You Will Need:

Vintage Ribbons

Scrapbook

Hot glue

Tacks (optional)

Hammer (optional)

Scissors or pinking sheers

The first step is to buy Vintage Ribbons. I find quite a selection often at antique stores as well as flea markets. I always end up looking for vintage velvet ribbons in black or brown. They seem so timeless!

If you cannot find vintage velvet ribbon, then try just buying some new velvet ribbon at your local craft store.

Unroll your Vintage Ribbon and start cutting out strips. You can use tin sips, pinking sheers, or scissor. Any of these should work fine.

Now, Use one of those ready-made scrapbooks you can buy at any craft store for the base of this project.

You wan to measure how large your scrapbook cover is and make your Vintage Ribbon strips about four inches wider and taller.

Don't forget to cover both the front and back at the same time, so when you are measuring how wide you scrap book cover is lay the book open and face down flat. Measure all the way from left to right.

Now, I like to run a bead of hot glue along the inside top edge of the scrapbook cover. Go ahead and place your strips of Vintage Ribbon vertically ling this top row on the inside. The ribbons should be touching on the left and right. Cover the entire inside edge.

Now, flip your Vintage Ribbons over and have them hang over the front of the scrapbook. Fold them back inside the bottom and glow them down inside the bottom edge of the scrapbook cover.

Repeat this step on the front left inside of the cover with your horizontal pieces.

Flip the ribbons over the edge and out the front. Weave them out to make the cover.
