On the wedding day, the bride and groom are waiting for their guests, for whom the wedding is a good reason not only to have fun from the heart, but also to help future newlyweds make the holiday bright and memorable. For the exquisitely dressed heroes of the occasion and their guests, the best transport will be dressed up cars that will emphasize the wedding surroundings.
It is necessary
- - rubber;
- - pieces of fabric or finished tapes;
- - artificial flowers made of plastic or fabric;
- - small pieces of dense fabric or braid;
- - scissors;
- - a sewing machine or a needle and thread.
Instructions
Step 1
Find the fabric you will be making the ribbon from. A bright shiny satin, which is sold both in large pieces and in ready-made stripes, is best suited for the holiday. Rayon or any other shiny synthetic fabric also looks good. You can find fabric for your ribbon at a specialty fabric store, or use old items that you definitely won't need, such as clothes, curtains, or tulle.
Step 2
Choose the color of the fabric for the ribbon in accordance with the general theme of the holiday. Perhaps the bride and groom will want all cars to be decorated in the same style with ribbons of the same color. Check with the future newlyweds about their wishes. Most likely, they will offer you to make tapes to your taste, so be original and feel free to fantasize. Keep in mind that the color of the tape should match the color of your car so that the tape stands out in contrast on the hood or trunk of the car and looks harmonious.
Step 3
Take the necessary measurements. This can be done using a tape measure. Apply the tape measure to the hood or trunk of the car in the same way as the decorative tape will be located, and measure its length.
Step 4
Cut a tape 25-30 cm wide from the fabric to the desired length (under the hood or trunk of the car). Fold in the edges and sew or sew the tape with a sewing machine or by hand, making a slight pucker that will give the tape a fluffy appearance. Fold both edges of the tape, sew small pieces of thicker fabric or braid to them. Sew the elastic to the denser fabric by stitching it several times. Make sure the elastic is in place as it will attach the tape to the machine.
Step 5
Decorate the ribbon with fabric flowers. To do this, cut out circles with a diameter of 20-30 cm from a fabric of bright colors (red or pink flowers on a white ribbon look good), make them volumetric shapes. For example, make a gather out of a circle, folding it like a cone, and sew a few stitches towards the center. Make some fabric colors and sew them to the ribbon at regular intervals.
Step 6
If you bought ready-made artificial flowers, then they can also be sewn to the ribbon. Flowers "under the veil" look exquisite, when each flower is placed in a bag of transparent white tulle, and then also sewn to the ribbon.
