Belly Bands - Check!

FINALLY! I finished these little suckers. And here they are!

Now for my directions..

Materials Needed:

• Ribbon
• Xyron Machine or some type of adhesive
• Tape
• Cardstock
• An invitation
• Scissors

Directions for Belly-Bands

1. Cut your ribbon strips to the size desired to fit around your entire invitation shortways. Mine measured at 5.25", so I cut my strips to 5".

   2. Wrap tape around the ends of your ribbon.

   3. Place the ribbon underneath your invitation evenly.

                            

   4. Place a piece of your already measured out cardstock onto the center of your invite and pull one end of your ribbon onto the cardstock. Tape the ribbon to your cardstock.

                            

   5. Tape the other end of your ribbon onto your cardstock.

                            

   6. Remove the sticker paper from the back of your monogramed cardstock and position it on the taped cardstock.

Part One of the Belly Bands

I finally began my belly bands today. I had been putting them off because I lacked any sense of motivation, but I want to get these invites out by Wednesday, so I kicked my butt into gear! Do you own a Xyron machine? If not, I highly recommend them because they're awesome. It is helping me out tremendously in assembling my belly bands and you'll see why in my next entry. Anyways, check out my progress!

A here's a thumbs up for a job well done! Now, I am off to eat some Taco Bell!
