Weaving a Ribbon for Gift Wrapping with Recycled Items

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village and today I am showing you how to make a homemade envelope for gift card. We have cut out our pieces and we have punched the holes and now I am going to show you how to lace it all together. So, you are just going to get some ribbon, some very thin ribbon because as I said I used a thin hole punch. And you can measure, you can kind of just go around like that and see. I would double the length. Ribbon is very inexpensive and you can go ahead and save any scraps that you have left over. So, you just cut your ribbon and you are going to start at the top of one side and you are going to pull your ribbon through the hole and decide just how long you are going to want it. So, I am basically going to pull it all the way like that and then we are going to go to the back, go down like that, pull it out from the top. Then take the next one, go through the top, out the back and then again through the back, out the top. So you can see here that this ribbon is just basically weaving in and out and then we are going to do the bottom. "
