Rick Rack = Christmas Card
.
Inspiration:
Martha Stewart – Rickrack Cards
Supplies:
Red and white rick rack (I used Jumbo size)
Scissors
Card
Decorative paper for background
Adhesive
1. Cut two 10″ lengths of rick rack; one from each color. Twist the two strands together.
2. Iron the twisted strands to make them lie flatter. I used a pressing cloth and a few bursts of steam.
3. Form the candy cane and trim the twisted strand to fit the card. Glue the ends of the two strands of rick rack together on both ends.
4. When dry, trim both ends so they look finished.
5. Glue the decorative paper on to the card.
6. Glue the rick rack shape on to the card. You can create a variety of shapes and designs with rick rack. Check out my AEDM picture below for more ideas.

Pretty! I think I like the Christmas tree the best.
Very clever! I love the candy cane!
Great use for rick-rack. All three designs are lovely.
I like the candy cane the best, it almost looks good enough to eat 🙂 I’m really looking forward to my first proper Christmas. Deccy x
I can’t wait to hear your “reports” on Christmas and Christmas traditions.
