Ribbon Sachets for Trinkets: Masterstroke DIY

November 13, 2009

Use scraps of ribbon to create these little pyramids — Masterstroke’s Steven Fraser originally created the sachet to be a beautiful Christmas ornament that was cut open to reveal the gift inside but we love the idea of hanging these little cuties from glasses or whimsical branches at a wedding for your guests to take home to discover their gift

diy1Materials:

ribbon scraps at least 4″ wide and 2 x wider than they are long
narrow ribbon for hanging
needle and thread OR sewing machine

Technique:

Fold the ribbon in half and sew the selvage edge of the ribbon and the cut ends of ribbon together with either a decorative stitch with a sewing machine or a simple blanket stitch by hand.

To create the pyramid effect, align the (sewn) cut edge with the folded edge of the length of ribbon. Insert a loop for hanging and a small gift and stitch it closed.
