Making a vintage looking ruff..

Previously I have been asked a few times, how to make the vintage looking ruff from the ribbons in some of my kits in my shop, so I thought lets make a few photo's when I'm working on a new ruff for one of my bears :-)



First take three ribbons in three different colors and make sure all three are equally long.



Now lay them all on top of each other and fold the beginning of the three ribbons inside.



Take a long needle and strong thread, pull the needle through the ribbons until your reaching the end of the ribbons.



Fold the end of the ribbons inside as well.



Now you have a ruff, I think it's still looking to new and perfect for my vintage and aged looking bear so I gave mine a coffee dye.



If you iron the ruff, it will make those perfect aged looking stains :-)



Now tie the ruff around the bear's neck, not to tight..



And finish here with a cute little rusty bell.



I used two also coffee dyed and ironed roses plus a rusty key to decorate my ruff.



It's that easy :-))
