Using Ribbon to Decorate a Picture Frame

Video Transcript

"PAMELA YAGER: Now, we're ready to get started with our first decorative element and to size it, actually, for our frame. We're going to be putting down pink ribbon on these sides, and so we want to cut the pieces to make sure that they are the correct size before we start putting our glue on. And you want to put your finger on one end. Make sure it's up at the top and up down at the bottom. Now, it can be a tad bit shorter but we don't want to have it necessarily too long to stick out. Those are the first pieces we're going to use and we want to do another piece just like that. We could also use just the ribbon, actually, since we know this is the right size and we'll cut that. Also when you're working on the frame makes sure you have it flat on a surface rather than up on the sides. It makes it a lot easier so it's not tipping over, and we're going to put another. They also have two sides on the ribbon, depending on what side you want to use. This is actually the better side to use but sometimes, for measuring, it's not the easiest side to--there we go--to measure. Then we'll do one more like that and then we will be ready to put it on in a second, right after we cut our last piece. We'll do that next."
