Spread Peace: Letter Tile Ribbon Christmas Decoration
Words are important as they can be put into sentences to form paragraphs which turn into stories. And oh, how we all love a good story! May Gibbs stories always take us on an adventure and they make for a lovely distraction when the world has been unsettling.
This easy Christmas decoration craft was inspired from Be a Fun Mum. Christmas ribbon was used as a base to form teacher names using Scrabble tile letter pieces for a personalised gift idea.
For this craft, we’ve used May Gibbs ribbon and rather than spelling a name of a loved one or teacher, we’ve formed words to inspire the New Year ahead.
Peace, Joy and Hope are very much words we all need to aspire to and be inspired by. Let’s spread peace this Christmas with our words and actions.
These Letter Tile Ribbon Christmas Decorations make a heart-warming gift for a loved one. They can also be used as gift tags on Christmas presents.
Materials
- May Gibbs ribbon
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
- Braided paper trim
- Wood letter tiles
- Cord or string
Instructions
- Cut a piece of the braided paper and May Gibbs ribbon to a length which will accommodate your chosen word. For Peace, we measured and cut a length to 25cm.
- Use the hot glue gun to glue the ribbon to the braided paper. The braided paper will give a firmer foundation for the letter tiles to adhere to.
- Fold over the top end of the decoration and glue into place.
- Thread a piece of cord or string through the loop and knot it. This will allow for the decoration to hang from the tree.
- Start to add your wood letter tiles to form your chosen word
- Once the word is complete, trim any ends of the ribbon.
Your Letter Tile Ribbon Decoration is ready to hang on the Christmas tree or adorn a gift.
