Part 14: Rick Rack ornament

Supplies:

• rick rack or double sided satin ribbon
• fray check
• needle
• thread
• embroidery thread
• beads version two

Order of events:

Version 1:

1. Cut rick rack or satin ribbon to length.
2. Fray check all ends; let dry.
3. Sew one end then the other making sure to go from longest to shortest then back up to the longest.
4. Add hanger.

Version two:

1. Cut rick rack (RR) or satin ribbon to length.
2. Fray check all ends; let dry.
3. Sew one end then the other making sure to go from longest to shortest then back up to the longest. I also added one bead to each side of the ornament (see finished ornament to see what I mean).
   
4. String beads through middle of ornament going sideways. I did the following pattern: 1 bead for future hanger bead, RR, 2 beads RR, 2 beads, RR, 2 beads, RR, 2 beads, RR, 1 bead, then three beads; turn, go through all again; tie off.
5. Add hanger in top bead; done (this ornament hangs sideways to the first).
   

When I finished this, I looked around to see if someone had the paper version that I remember making as a kid. Here is one, so if you have quilling paper, you can do that instead of ribbon or rick rack.
