Was the peppermint ribbon sold by itself or in a pack with other ribbons? On a roll or cardboard? Wasn't able to find it....
ReplyDeleteWhat is chipboard? I don't have a hobby lobby near me, so i went on line and when I typed in chipboard - it only brought up cut out letters? Is it like mat board?
ReplyDeleteYvonne..peppermint ribbon is sold in tiny rolls in the scrapbook area. Hobby Lobby also sales it on line. I have some extra rolls if you can't find any.
ReplyDeletePat..it is lighter weight than mat board...looks like the back on an old fashion tablet...grayish and heavier than poster board but less than mat....excellent for smaller projects.

So you could use the back of a pad of paper? Would that work?
DeleteThis is such a fun thing for you to do, thank you!

ReplyDeleteWhich tools do you recommend for cutting the chipboard to get clean cuts? And what is the surface you put the chipboard on for cutting ... anything like a self-healing mat like Xacto makes?
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
Cheryl. I use an old paper cutter. And for small projects kitchen shears from pampered chef
