Planner Decor on a Budget: DIY Ribbon Page Flag {Updated}

Hey Everyone!

So since deciding to start a Youtube channel, I decided I would update this post, as I wasn't happy with the outcome of the original post. I felt like I had a hard time trying to convey what the steps were and I forgot to take pictures of each step..... So this time, I've filmed it for you to give you a visual aid of the DIY process for this project.

This project is very simple and not expensive at all. Most dollar stores sell some pretty ribbon and you can find cheap ribbon at places like Walmart and Micheals (check the $1.50 section at Micheals). Paper clips can be found just about anywhere. I got these gold ones at Staples for about $2.50. This project definitely won't break your bank and the end result is a really nice page flag or bookmark! Let's get started!!!

Things You Need:
-paper clips (in the colour of your choice)
-ribbon (in the colour, sizes and patterns of your choice)
-scissors

Step 1:
Choose the ribbon and the paper clip you want to use. With the ribbon,you want to take it out of the package and determine which ribbons you want to group together.

Step 2:
Once you have determined which ribbons you want to use, take it and measure out about 5-6 inches of ribbon. Take the scissors and cut it and then put the rest of that ribbon to the side. Do this for however many pieces of ribbon you are using. Don't worry if the ribbons aren't all the same length... you can trim the ends later!

Step 3:
Next, take the ribbons you cut and place them carefully on top of one another. This will be tricky if the ribbons are bent like mine were. Then take the two ends and put them together.

Step 4:
Take the loop of the ribbons and put it through the solo loop of the paper clip (Please see my video below if you are confused). Don't pull the loop all the way through. Once you have gotten through the centres of all your strings and bring them all through the loop you've made, making sure that you have wrapped the ends around the paper clip while sliding them through the loop made in the ribbons (Again, see the video if you are confused). Pull the ends tight. You may need to do this with each individual ribbon end.

Step 5:
Finally, trim the ends so they are all the same length. Discard the pieces you just cut off in the trash.

That's it! Wasn't that easy!!?? I hope that you guys enjoyed this post and the video linked below.
