Things You'll Need
2- to 4-inch-wide satin ribbon
Letter stencils
Fabric glitter pen
Chalk
Hook-and-loop fastener
Fabric glue
You can make an elegant-looking princess sash to add to a Halloween costume or make a bunch of sashes for a little princess's next birthday party and hand one out to each of the guests. You can keep the sash simple, with just a little bit of glitter, or embellish the sash with imitation gemstones or miniature silk flowers. The sashes can also be used as a party activity by having the party group decorate the sashes with fabric glitter pens, glue-on decals and puffy paint.
Step 1
Cut the ribbon for the sash. Cut the ribbon to about 36 inches. Cut the ends diagonally for nicer looking edges.

Step 2
Fold the ribbon in half and make a small chalk mark to keep track of the center. Half of the sash will drape across the front of the body and the other half behind.
Step 3
Place letter stencils down the front half of the ribbon to spell the word "PRINCESS." Alternatively, write the letters down the sash using freehand. Do this with a piece of chalk or erasable fabric pencil.
Step 4
Trace over the stencils or freehand letters with a fabric glitter pen. Let the glitter dry for 10 to 15 minutes and then carefully remove the stencils. Let the glitter dry completely.
Step 5
Measure 2 inches inward from each short end on the wrong side of the ribbon and make a small chalk mark. Cut a small piece of hook and loop fastener. Apply fabric glue to the back and press it against the chalk mark. Cut a corresponding piece of hook and loop fastener, glue it and press it against the other chalk mark.
